Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa narration, typically Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: A time-lapse sense: three years of daily liṅga worship; finally Śiva’s compassionate aura fills the shrine as the Lord becomes pleased.
Long-term, focused worship ripens into divine pleasure; Śiva responds to perseverance with compassion.
Kāśī, where liṅga-upāsanā is presented as especially efficacious for receiving Śiva’s grace.
Sustained liṅga-ārādhana over an extended vow-like period (here, three years).
