droṇeśādvāyu digbhāge vālakhilyeśvaraṃ param | talliṃgaṃ śraddhayā dṛṣṭvā sarvakratuphalaṃ labhet
ଦ୍ରୋଣେଶରୁ ବାୟୁଦିଗ୍ଭାଗରେ ପରମ ‘ବାଲଖିଲ୍ୟେଶ୍ୱର’ ଲିଙ୍ଗ ଅଛି। ସେହି ଲିଙ୍ଗକୁ ଶ୍ରଦ୍ଧାରେ ଦର୍ଶନ କଲେ ସମସ୍ତ ଯଜ୍ଞର ଫଳ ମିଳେ।
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Vālakhilyeśvara-liṅga (Kāśī)
Type: temple
Listener: Agastya (Ghaṭodbhava)
Scene: A serene liṅga shrine in the airy Vāyu direction; subtle wind motifs—fluttering flags, swaying bilva leaves—while pilgrims gaze with faith and receive the invisible ‘kratu-phala’.
Faith-filled darśana of Śiva in Kāśī can equal the merit of extensive Vedic sacrifices.
Vālakhilyeśvara Liṅga, located in the Vāyu-direction from Droṇeśa in Kāśī.
Darśana with śraddhā (reverent seeing) is the emphasized act; no separate donation or vow is specified here.
