एवं तस्यास्तपःस्थाया गते युगचतुष्टये । निर्भिद्य धरणीपृष्ठं शिवलिंगं समुत्थितम्
evaṃ tasyāstapaḥsthāyā gate yugacatuṣṭaye | nirbhidya dharaṇīpṛṣṭhaṃ śivaliṃgaṃ samutthitam
Demikianlah, ketika beliau tetap teguh dalam tapa, setelah empat yuga berlalu, sebuah Śiva-liṅga memancar keluar, membelah permukaan bumi.
Sūta
Type: kshetra
Scene: A tapasvinī stands absorbed in austerity as the earth splits; from the fissure rises a radiant Śiva-liṅga, dust and light swirling, the landscape sanctified by the miracle.
Persevering devotion culminates in direct divine manifestation; a tīrtha becomes sacred by such epiphanies.
The emergence of the Śiva-liṅga marks the sanctification of the Amareśvara tīrtha described in this chapter.
No specific rite; it emphasizes steadfast tapas as the cause for the liṅga’s manifestation.
