केनेदं स्थापितं लिंगं सूर्यवैश्वानरप्रभम् । लिंगादपि चतुर्दिक्षु मार्गाश्चेमे तु कीदृशाः
kenedaṃ sthāpitaṃ liṃgaṃ sūryavaiśvānaraprabham | liṃgādapi caturdikṣu mārgāśceme tu kīdṛśāḥ
« Qui a établi ce liṅga, rayonnant comme le Soleil et comme le feu sacré ? Et depuis le liṅga, ces voies qui s’étendent vers les quatre directions, que sont-elles ? »
Suhṛdaya (inquiry to Nāga maidens)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The hero stands before a blazing, sun-like liṅga; four clearly marked paths extend outward to the cardinal directions, like spokes from a hub; Nāga maidens pause to listen.
Sacred places invite inquiry: understanding origin (pratiṣṭhā) and sacred geography deepens devotion.
The verse points to a sacred liṅga-site with four-directional paths, but does not name the location.
No explicit prescription; it alludes to liṅga-pratiṣṭhā (installation) as a sacred act.
