आलुलोके महालिंगं वैकुंठपरमेष्ठिनोः । महाहमहमिकायां प्रादुरास यदादितः
āluloke mahāliṃgaṃ vaikuṃṭhaparameṣṭhinoḥ | mahāhamahamikāyāṃ prādurāsa yadāditaḥ
त्यांनी त्या महालिंगाचे दर्शन घेतले, जे वैकुंठनाथ आणि परमेष्ठी (ब्रह्मा) यांच्या ‘मी-मी’ अशा महान अहंकार-स्पर्धेत आद्यतः प्रकट झाले होते।
Skanda
Tirtha: Mahāliṅga / Viśveśvara-liṅga (Kāśī)
Type: temple
Scene: Śiva beholds the Mahāliṅga—an axis of presence recalling the primordial liṅgodbhava: a towering, luminous liṅga/pillar, with subtle echoes of Viṣṇu and Brahmā’s humbled forms at the periphery, the ‘ahaṃ-ahaṃ’ contest dissolved into silence.
Divine revelation (the Liṅga) subdues ego and rivalry; the Supreme transcends status-claims and becomes the true object of worship.
Kāśī-kṣetra through the presence/vision of the Mahāliṅga, tying the site to a cosmic theophany.
No explicit ritual is given; the verse emphasizes darśana (beholding) of the Mahāliṅga.
