Unknown (devotional narrator within Brahmottarakhaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Yameśvara (as a theological epithet of Śiva; not necessarily the Kāśī shrine)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A luminous Śiva (as Yameśvara) seated in serene majesty; a devotee prostrates at His lotus-feet; behind them, the wheel of saṃsāra appears as a dark, hollow vortex contrasted with the radiance of service.
The ‘essence’ of spiritual life is bhakti—service to Śiva’s lotus-feet—which transcends fear of death and saṃsāra.
No site is named; the verse is a doctrinal summary praising Śiva-bhakti as the Upaniṣadic essence.
Sevā (devotional service) to Śiva is taught as the core practice; in this chapter it aligns with Pradoṣa-time worship.
