द्वादशज्योतिर्लिङ्गावतारकथनम्
Account of the Twelve Jyotirliṅga Manifestations
काशीविश्वेशयोर्भक्त्या तन्नामजपकारकाः । निर्लिप्ताः कर्मभिर्न्नित्यं केवल्यपदभागिनः
kāśīviśveśayorbhaktyā tannāmajapakārakāḥ | nirliptāḥ karmabhirnnityaṃ kevalyapadabhāginaḥ
ଯେମାନେ କାଶୀ ଓ ବିଶ୍ୱେଶ୍ୱର (ଭଗବାନ ଶିବ) ପ୍ରତି ଭକ୍ତିରେ ତାଙ୍କ ନାମର ନିତ୍ୟ ଜପ କରନ୍ତି, ସେମାନେ ସଦା କର୍ମସ୍ପର୍ଶରୁ ଅଲିପ୍ତ ରହି ଶିବୈକ୍ୟରୂପ କୈବଲ୍ୟପଦର ଭାଗୀ ହୁଅନ୍ତି।

It teaches that devotion to Kāśī and Viśveśa expressed through constant Shiva-nāma japa makes one inwardly unattached to karma and fit for Kevalya—final liberation aligned with Śiva as Pati (the Supreme Lord).
Viśveśa in Kāśī is worshipped as Saguna Śiva (often through the Liṅga as Viśvanātha/Viśveśvara). The verse highlights that loving devotion and Name-recitation centered on this manifest Lord leads beyond karmic bondage to the liberating reality of Śiva.
Regular japa of Lord Shiva’s Name (such as the Panchākṣarī, “Om Namaḥ Śivāya,” or Shiva-nāma) performed with bhakti, ideally in a spirit of detachment from results, is the key practice implied.
