ततस्ते पूजयांचक्रुस्तल्लिंगं भक्तिसंयुताः । ततस्तुष्टो महादेवो मुक्तिं तेषां ददौ हरः
tataste pūjayāṃcakrustalliṃgaṃ bhaktisaṃyutāḥ | tatastuṣṭo mahādevo muktiṃ teṣāṃ dadau haraḥ
मग त्यांनी भक्तियुक्त होऊन त्या लिंगाची पूजा केली. त्याने प्रसन्न होऊन महादेव हरांनी त्यांना मुक्ती प्रदान केली.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Kapāleśvara-samīpa liṅga (Prabhāsa)
Type: temple
Listener: Devī
Scene: The consecrated liṅga is worshipped with intense devotion; Śiva, pleased, grants liberation—depicted as a radiant descent of grace over the assembled Pāśupatas.
Devotional worship (bhakti-yukta liṅga-pūjā) is upheld as a direct cause for Śiva’s grace culminating in liberation.
The liṅga established near Kapāleśvara in Prabhāsa Kṣetra, within the Koṭīśvara-related narrative.
Liṅga-pūjā (worship of the liṅga) is explicitly described.
