वरुणेशमिति ख्यातं वाराणस्यां सुसिद्धिदम् । मणिकर्णेश लिंगस्य नैरृत्यां दिशि संस्थितम्
varuṇeśamiti khyātaṃ vārāṇasyāṃ susiddhidam | maṇikarṇeśa liṃgasya nairṛtyāṃ diśi saṃsthitam
हे वाराणसीत ‘वरुणेश’ म्हणून ख्यात होईल व उत्तम सिद्धी देणारे आहे। हे मणिकर्णेश-लिंगाच्या नैऋत्य (दक्षिण-पश्चिम) दिशेस स्थित आहे।
Śiva (naming and locating the shrine; contextually continuing speech)
Tirtha: Varuṇeśa
Type: kshetra (liṅga-sthāna within Kāśī)
Scene: A sacred map moment: the text ‘pins’ Varuṇeśa within Vārāṇasī, stating its fame and its southwest placement relative to Maṇikarṇeśa.
Kāśī’s holiness is mapped through specific Śiva-liṅgas whose worship yields siddhi and spiritual accomplishment.
Varuṇeśa (Varuṇeśvara) in Vārāṇasī, located to the south-west of the Maṇikarṇeśa liṅga.
No procedure is detailed; the verse provides the shrine-name, merit (susiddhidam), and precise sacred location.
