कुंडं तत्रैव संस्थाप्य लिंगस्नपनकर्मणे । नाद्यापि स त्यजेत्काशीं ध्यायंल्लिंगं तथैव हि
kuṃḍaṃ tatraiva saṃsthāpya liṃgasnapanakarmaṇe | nādyāpi sa tyajetkāśīṃ dhyāyaṃlliṃgaṃ tathaiva hi
लिंगस्नापन कर्मासाठी त्याने तेथेच एक कुंड स्थापिले; आणि आजही तो काशी सोडत नाही—त्याच लिंगाचे अखंड ध्यान करीत राहतो।
