બ્રહ્મા, વિષ્ણુ, અર્ક (સૂર્ય), શિવ, વિઘ્નેશ્વર વગેરેની જે જે દિવ્ય મૂર્તિઓ છે—જ્યાં આ ‘શૈવ લિંગ’ તરીકે ખ્યાત હોય, તે જ સ્થાન ખરેખર તીર્થ છે।
Śiva (Devadeva)
Tirtha: Liṅga-centered tīrtha (general principle applied to Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (frame); Devī is the immediate addressee in the quoted dialogue
Scene: A sacred precinct showing icons of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Sūrya, Gaṇeśa, and others arranged around a central Śaiva liṅga; the teaching declares the whole locus a tīrtha when recognized as liṅga-centered.
Sacredness is anchored in Śiva’s liṅga principle; even diverse divine forms are integrated into the tīrtha-identity where the Śaiva liṅga is recognized.
A general rule for Kāśī’s sacred geography: any locus renowned for a Śaiva liṅga is itself a tīrtha.
Recognition and worship of the Śaiva liṅga as the defining marker of a tīrtha; no specific vrata/snana is detailed in this verse.
