Skanda Purana — Nagara Khanda, Shloka 72

Devanagari script

गौतम उवाच । हाटकेश्वरसंज्ञे तु सकृद्दृष्टे च यत्फलम् । पातालस्थे च यत्पुण्यं नराणां जायते फलम् । दृष्टेनानेन तत्पुण्यं पूजितेन विशेषतः

Transliteration

gautama uvāca | hāṭakeśvarasaṃjñe tu sakṛddṛṣṭe ca yatphalam | pātālasthe ca yatpuṇyaṃ narāṇāṃ jāyate phalam | dṛṣṭenānena tatpuṇyaṃ pūjitena viśeṣataḥ

Translation

Gautama bersabda: “Buah yang timbul hanya dengan sekali memandang Hāṭakeśvara, dan pahala suci (puṇya) yang diperoleh manusia ketika Ia bersemayam di Pātāla—puṇya yang sama didapat dengan memandang liṅga yang termanifestasi ini, dan terlebih lagi dengan memujanya.”

FAQs

Darśana grants merit, but pūjā intensifies it; devotion expressed through worship amplifies tīrtha-phala.

Hāṭakeśvara Liṅga-tīrtha, whose merit is compared to its mysterious Pātāla-abiding sanctity.

Darśana (seeing the liṅga) and especially pūjā (formal worship) are recommended for attaining merit.
