Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Durvāseśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pārvatī
Scene: A river (Balabhadrā) flows; on its eastern bank stands a powerful Śiva-liṅga shrine named Durvāseśvara, evoking the austere ṛṣi Durvāsas.
Śiva’s presence is mapped onto sacred geography: specific rivers and directions become gateways for devotion through liṅga-darśana.
Durvāseśvara Liṅga site near the Balabhadrā river within Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
