बाल्ये वयसि यत्पापं वार्धके यौवनेऽपि वा । तद्यास्यति क्षयं तस्य तमः सूर्योदये यथा
bālye vayasi yatpāpaṃ vārdhake yauvane'pi vā | tadyāsyati kṣayaṃ tasya tamaḥ sūryodaye yathā
Dosa apa pun yang ia perbuat di masa kanak-kanak, masa muda, ataupun masa tua, semuanya akan lenyap baginya—laksana gelap sirna saat matahari terbit.
Bhagavān (Śiva/Maheśvara) (contextual continuation)
Tirtha: Acaleśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: A symbolic tableau: darkness recedes as the sun rises over a temple silhouette; a devotee emerges from shadow into light after worship, signifying sins from childhood to old age dissolving.
Sincere Śaiva observance has the power to burn away accumulated wrongdoing across all stages of life.
The result is tied to the same Nāgarakhaṇḍa tīrtha where the liṅga worship is prescribed (Acaleśvara setting).
The verse states the fruit (sin-destruction) of the previously described liṅga worship/observance.
