Sthala Purana: Śiva’s presence is described as jyotirūpa (form of Light). The narrative relocates to Mount Krauñca, where the divine pair ‘abide in Light,’ resonating with Jyotirliṅga theology: Śiva self-manifests as luminous liṅga to grant darśana and grace.
Significance: Contemplation of Śiva as jyoti (inner and outer light) is treated as a direct means to receive anugraha and dissolve ignorance (tirodhāna).
