वाचिकं मानसं पापं कर्मणा यदुपार्जितम् । तत्सर्वं नश्यते देवि तस्य लिंगस्य दर्शनात्
vācikaṃ mānasaṃ pāpaṃ karmaṇā yadupārjitam | tatsarvaṃ naśyate devi tasya liṃgasya darśanāt
हे देवी! वाणीने, मनाने किंवा कर्माने जे पाप उपार्जित झाले असेल, त्या लिंगाच्या दर्शनमात्राने ते सर्व नष्ट होते।
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Kuntīśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A pilgrim stands before the Kuntīśvara-liṅga; from the liṅga emanates a cleansing radiance that symbolically dissolves dark knots labeled speech, mind, and action; Devī is addressed in the narrative frame.
Darśana is transformative: encountering the divine presence at a tīrtha purifies even subtle faults of speech and mind.
The liṅga of Kuntīśvara in Prabhāsa-kṣetra.
Darśana (reverent viewing) of the liṅga is highlighted as a purificatory act; no additional rite is required in the verse.
