Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara
Type: cave
Scene: Indra gazes at the Hāṭakeśvara-liṅga radiating formidable energy; his expression shifts from relief to anxious guardianship, as if contemplating how to keep such power from casual access.

Hāṭakeśvara liṅga, celebrated for its prabhāva (miraculous efficacy).
No direct prescription; it motivates the next verses about worship by humans.
