Śūdrakeśvara (implied from prior verse)FAQs
Tīrtha-bathing and Śiva-worship are depicted as transforming karma, leading from sin-release to divine proximity.
The Gaṅgā–Yamunā tīrtha context centered on the Śūdrakeśvara Liṅga.
The verse states the result (phala) of the prior prescriptions—snāna and pūjā—culminating in reaching Śiva’s abode.
