तत्पुण्यं लभते देवि मूलचण्डीशदर्शनात् । तत्र दानानि देयानि षोडशैव नरोत्तमैः
tatpuṇyaṃ labhate devi mūlacaṇḍīśadarśanāt | tatra dānāni deyāni ṣoḍaśaiva narottamaiḥ
ದೇವಿ! ಮೂಲಚಂಡೀಶನ ದರ್ಶನದಿಂದಲೇ ಅದೇ ಪುಣ್ಯ ಲಭಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿ ನರೋತ್ತಮರು ಹದಿನಾರು ವಿಧದ ದಾನಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಬೇಕು.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Mūlacaṇḍīśa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: A devotee beholds the Mūlacaṇḍīśa liṅga and then offers a sequence of sixteen gifts to worthy recipients; the scene balances sanctum darśana with a charitable courtyard distribution.
Pilgrimage (darśana) and charity (dāna) together form a complete Purāṇic path of merit and purification.
Mūlacaṇḍīśa liṅga-site within Prabhāsa kṣetra.
Ṣoḍaśa-dāna—sixteen prescribed gifts to be given by exemplary devotees at that sacred place.
