तत्प्रतीच्यां महालिंगं द्रोणेश इति कीर्तितम् । यल्लिंगपूजनाद्द्रोणो ज्योतीरूपं पुनर्दधौ
tatpratīcyāṃ mahāliṃgaṃ droṇeśa iti kīrtitam | yalliṃgapūjanāddroṇo jyotīrūpaṃ punardadhau
Di sebelah baratnya berdiri sebuah Mahāliṅga yang masyhur bernama Droṇeśa. Dengan memuja Liṅga itu, Droṇa kembali memperoleh wujudnya yang bercahaya, laksana nur.
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Droṇeśa-liṅga (Kāśī)
Type: temple
Listener: Agastya (Ghaṭodbhava)
Scene: A great liṅga shrine on the western side of a Kāśī sacred cluster; Droṇa, humbled, offers worship and is shown regaining a radiant, light-like form as Śiva’s presence suffuses the sanctum.
Śiva-liṅga worship in Kāśī restores spiritual radiance and removes the loss of inner splendour.
The Droṇeśa Mahāliṅga, located to the west of the referenced sacred point in Kāśī.
Liṅga-pūjā (worship of the Śiva Liṅga) is explicitly praised as the means to gain the stated merit.
