Sthala Purana: A virtuous agent establishes a liṅga titled ‘Vyāseśvara’. The sthala-idea is that darśana of this liṅga grants vāg-vaibhava (mastery of speech) and vidyā—an anugraha-phala aligned with Vyāsa’s archetype as compiler and teacher.
Significance: Darśana (and by extension arcana) yields vidyā-prāpti and eloquence—interpretable in Siddhānta as Śiva’s grace removing āṇava/karma obscurations that impede jñāna and vāk-śakti.

Perform Liṅga-darśana with devotion—offer water and bilva, recite the Pañcākṣarī (Om Namaḥ Śivāya), and pray for purity of speech (vāṅ-śuddhi) and right understanding before study or teaching.
