រូបសក្ការៈដ៏ទេវភាព—ព្រះព្រហ្មា ព្រះវិṣṇu ព្រះអាទិត្យ ព្រះសិវៈ ព្រះវិឃ្នេśវរ និងទេវតាផ្សេងៗ—កន្លែងណាដែលគេដឹងថា «លិង្គសៃវៈ» នោះ កន្លែងនោះឯងជាទីរថៈ (tīrtha) ពិតប្រាកដ។
Śiva (Devadeva)
Tirtha: Liṅga-centered tīrtha (general principle applied to Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (frame); Devī is the immediate addressee in the quoted dialogue
Scene: A sacred precinct showing icons of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Sūrya, Gaṇeśa, and others arranged around a central Śaiva liṅga; the teaching declares the whole locus a tīrtha when recognized as liṅga-centered.
Sacredness is anchored in Śiva’s liṅga principle; even diverse divine forms are integrated into the tīrtha-identity where the Śaiva liṅga is recognized.
A general rule for Kāśī’s sacred geography: any locus renowned for a Śaiva liṅga is itself a tīrtha.
Recognition and worship of the Śaiva liṅga as the defining marker of a tīrtha; no specific vrata/snana is detailed in this verse.
