त्याने पद्मासनस्थ महेश्वर वैद्यनाथांचे दर्शन घेतले—ज्यांना ‘अक्षर’ असे म्हणतात, जे सर्वव्यापी आणि सर्वज्ञ आहेत.
Sūta (deduced: Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narration style)
Tirtha: Vaidyanātha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant Maheśvara Vaidyanātha seated in lotus posture, serene and omniscient, with a subtle aura suggesting all-pervasion; the devotee beholds him in awe and devotion.
Śiva is praised as the Imperishable, all-pervading knower; true pilgrimage culminates in darśana and inner realization of that Akṣara.
Vaidyanātha (a celebrated Śiva-tīrtha/temple tradition) is explicitly mentioned, indicating a Śaiva sacred site being praised in this chapter’s mahātmya.
No explicit ritual is stated here; the focus is on contemplative darśana of Vaidyanātha.
