एवं तां स्नपनं तस्य सदा लिंगस्य कुर्वतीम् । न जानाति जनः कश्चिद्वने वृक्षसमाकुले
evaṃ tāṃ snapanaṃ tasya sadā liṃgasya kurvatīm | na jānāti janaḥ kaścidvane vṛkṣasamākule
このように彼女が常にそのリンガの沐浴を行っていたが、木々の茂る森の中では、誰一人としてそれを知る者はいなかった。
Narrator (within the Purāṇic dialogue; exact named speaker not in snippet)
Type: kshetra
Scene: In a thick, tree-crowded forest, the cow repeatedly bathes the liṅga; no humans appear, only layered trunks, vines, and dappled light—devotion occurring unseen.
True devotion does not require an audience; unseen service in sacred places carries profound merit.
The forest-grove setting of the Kalaśeśvara liṅga in the Śrī Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra narrative.
Regular liṅga-snapana (ablution/abhiṣeka) is described as ongoing worship.
