yacca kratu kriyotsargastvayā mahyaṃ niveditaḥ | sthāpitaṃ yattvidaṃ liṃgaṃ mama caṃdreśvarābhidham
Dan persembahan yajña serta pelepasan buah-buah ritual yang engkau persembahkan kepada-Ku; dan liṅga ini yang engkau tegakkan di sini dengan nama-Ku ‘Candreśvara’—semua perbuatan ini amat berkenan bagi-Ku.
Śiva (Maheśāna)
Tirtha: Candreśvara
Type: temple
Scene: Śiva acknowledges two acts: (1) offering sacrificial rites and relinquishing their fruits to him, and (2) establishing a liṅga named Candreśvara; the liṅga is central, with devotee presenting offerings.
Dedication of rites and their fruits to Śiva, along with establishing a liṅga, becomes a powerful act of devotion in Kāśī.
The Candreśvara-liṅga shrine in Kāśī, introduced as a named manifestation of Śiva.
Kriyotsarga—offering/renouncing the fruits of sacrificial and ritual acts to Śiva—and liṅga-sthāpanā (installation of a liṅga).
