ईश्वर उवाच । तस्यैव पूर्वदिग्भागे लिंगं पातकनाशनम् । गौतमेश्वरनामाढ्यं दैत्यसूदनपश्चिमे
īśvara uvāca | tasyaiva pūrvadigbhāge liṃgaṃ pātakanāśanam | gautameśvaranāmāḍhyaṃ daityasūdanapaścime
ઈશ્વરે કહ્યું—એ જ પવિત્ર પ્રદેશના પૂર્વ ભાગમાં પાપનાશક એક લિંગ છે; તે ‘ગૌતમેશ્વર’ નામે પ્રસિદ્ધ છે અને ‘દૈત્યસૂદન’ના પશ્ચિમે સ્થિત છે.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Gautameśvara
Type: temple
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Śiva instructs Devī, pointing to the eastern quarter of Prabhāsa: a radiant liṅga labeled ‘Gautameśvara’ stands amid a small shrine; nearby, another shrine ‘Daityasūdana’ serves as a landmark. Pilgrims move with lamps and offerings along a coastal sacred path.
Sacred geography is mapped as salvific: approaching specific liṅgas in a tīrtha is presented as a direct means of pāpa-kṣaya (sin-removal).
Gautameśvara-liṅga within Prabhāsa Kṣetra, located relative to Daityasūdana.
No specific rite is stated in this verse; it identifies the liṅga and its sin-destroying potency.
