यस्य प्रसिद्धिरतुला वृद्धिलिंगमिति द्विजाः । यस्य दर्शनमात्रेण मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः
yasya prasiddhiratulā vṛddhiliṃgamiti dvijāḥ | yasya darśanamātreṇa mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ
હે દ્વિજોએ, જેના ‘વૃદ્ધિલિંગ’ નામે અતુલ પ્રસિદ્ધિ છે, તેનું માત્ર દર્શન કરવાથી જ સર્વ પાપોથી મુક્તિ થાય છે।
Prahlāda (continuing narration, addressing dvijāḥ within the discourse)
Tirtha: Vṛddhiliṅga
Type: kshetra
Listener: Dvija-s (twice-born)
Scene: A revered liṅga shrine named Vṛddhiliṅga, approached by brāhmaṇas and pilgrims; the liṅga radiates sanctity, suggesting instant purification through sight.
Purāṇic tīrtha theology holds that darśana of a supremely sanctified liṅga can dissolve accumulated pāpa when approached with reverence.
The renowned Vṛddhiliṅga (associated with the Indrapada/Indreśvara sacred complex) within the Dvārakā Māhātmya.
Darśana (seeing) of the Vṛddhiliṅga is itself stated as the efficacious act.
