यस्मादर्घ्यं पुरा दत्त्वा पश्चा दीशः प्रतिष्ठितः । तेनार्घ्येशेति विख्यातं लिंगं पापप्रणाशनम्
yasmādarghyaṃ purā dattvā paścā dīśaḥ pratiṣṭhitaḥ | tenārghyeśeti vikhyātaṃ liṃgaṃ pāpapraṇāśanam
कारण पूर्वी प्रथम अर्घ्य अर्पण झाले आणि नंतर ईश्वराची प्रतिष्ठा झाली; म्हणून हे लिंग ‘अर्घ्येश’ म्हणून विख्यात झाले—पापनाशक.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Arghyeśa/Arghyeśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A didactic moment: the liṅga labeled ‘Arghyeśvara’ with devotees offering arghya; a subtle visual of ‘first arghya, then installation’—vessel in foreground, consecrated liṅga behind, aura of purification.
Right ritual priority—honoring the sacred with arghya—becomes the very basis of a tīrtha’s identity and its sin-destroying grace.
Arghyeśvara (Arghyeśa) liṅga in Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
The narrative emphasizes offering arghya as a foundational rite associated with the shrine’s sanctity.
