पश्यन्पद्मासनस्थं च वैदनाथं महेश्वरम् । यमक्षरं वदंत्येव सर्वगं सर्ववेदिनम्
paśyanpadmāsanasthaṃ ca vaidanāthaṃ maheśvaram | yamakṣaraṃ vadaṃtyeva sarvagaṃ sarvavedinam
उसने पद्मासन में विराजमान महेश्वर वैद्यनाथ का दर्शन किया—उन्हीं को लोग ‘अक्षर’ कहते हैं, जो सर्वव्यापी और सर्वज्ञ हैं।
Sūta (deduced: Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narration style)
Tirtha: Vaidyanātha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant Maheśvara Vaidyanātha seated in lotus posture, serene and omniscient, with a subtle aura suggesting all-pervasion; the devotee beholds him in awe and devotion.
Śiva is praised as the Imperishable, all-pervading knower; true pilgrimage culminates in darśana and inner realization of that Akṣara.
Vaidyanātha (a celebrated Śiva-tīrtha/temple tradition) is explicitly mentioned, indicating a Śaiva sacred site being praised in this chapter’s mahātmya.
No explicit ritual is stated here; the focus is on contemplative darśana of Vaidyanātha.
