इत्येतत्कथितं देवि माहात्म्यं पापनाशनम् । सिद्धेश्वरस्य देवस्य सर्वकामफलप्रदम्
ityetatkathitaṃ devi māhātmyaṃ pāpanāśanam | siddheśvarasya devasya sarvakāmaphalapradam
આ રીતે, હે દેવી, પાપનાશક એવું આ માહાત્મ્ય કહેલું છે—સિદ્ધેશ્વર દેવનું, જે સર્વ કામનાઓનું ફળ આપનાર છે।

Tirtha: Siddheśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Śiva’s voice concludes the Siddheśvara-māhātmya to Devī: the shrine radiates sanctity, with devotees receiving blessings—sins washed away, rightful wishes fulfilled.
Remembering and honoring a tīrtha’s māhātmya is itself purifying and directs desire toward dharmic fulfillment under divine grace.
Siddheśvara at Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
The verse functions as a phalaśruti, affirming the purifying and wish-fulfilling fruit of Siddheśvara devotion (in the preceding rites of snāna, pūjā, and japa).
