હે વરાનને, પ્રાચીન કાળે ‘સિદ્ધ’ નામના દેવગણ ત્યાં આવી સર્વ કાર્યોમાં સિદ્ધિ મેળવવાની ઇચ્છાથી લિંગ સ્થાપિત કર્યું।
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Siddheśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A procession of Siddhas—radiant yogic beings—arrive at Prabhāsa and install a liṅga with ritual implements; the air shimmers with mantra and austerity.
Sacred installations (liṅga-pratiṣṭhā) performed with devotion become enduring sources of spiritual accomplishment (siddhi).
The Siddheśvara liṅga-site in Prabhāsa Kṣetra, established by the Siddhas.
Liṅga establishment is referenced as the founding act; by implication, worship there is tied to attaining siddhi.
