दश पूर्वान्दशातीतानात्मानं च द्विजोत्तमाः । पुरुषान्स समुद्धृत्य शिवलोके महीयते
daśa pūrvāndaśātītānātmānaṃ ca dvijottamāḥ | puruṣānsa samuddhṛtya śivaloke mahīyate
હે દ્વિજોત્તમો! તે પોતાને સહિત દસ પૂર્વજો અને દસ આવનારી પેઢીઓને ઉદ્ધરી શિવલોકમાં પૂજિત થાય છે।
Sūta
Tirtha: Mahākāla-pīṭha (implied)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/‘dvijottamāḥ’ addressed (implied)
Scene: A devotee at a Śiva-pīṭha offers flowers and water; behind him a luminous line of ancestors and descendants rises toward a radiant Śivaloka, with Śiva’s emblem (liṅga/trident) presiding.
Pilgrimage-linked rites are not merely personal; they are depicted as liberative for one’s lineage when performed in a Śiva-kṣetra.
Implicitly the same Ujjayinī Mahākāla-kṣetra described in the surrounding verses.
The verse states the fruit (phala) of the rite previously mentioned (śrāddha/worship); no new procedure is added here.
