「ゆえに、マハーデーヴァ—マヘーシュヴァラ—は、その土の聖なる曼荼羅より速やかに降臨し、ハリ（ヴィシュヌ）によって正しく安置された自らのリンガに恩寵を垂れたまうた。」

Shiva Form: Mahādeva
Sthala Purana: Not a Jyotirliṅga episode; the verse narrates Śiva’s immediate manifestation to bless His liṅga that Viṣṇu has ritually established within an earthen maṇḍala (pārthiva-liṅga context).
Significance: Establishes the paradigm that sincere liṅga-pratiṣṭhā and bhakti draw down Śiva’s anugraha (grace) swiftly, even without a fixed kṣetra.
FAQs
