एतेषां मध्यतो यस्तं महायोगिनमीश्वरम् । चरमं देवमीक्षेत भविष्यति स पापकृत्
eteṣāṃ madhyato yastaṃ mahāyoginamīśvaram | caramaṃ devamīkṣeta bhaviṣyati sa pāpakṛt
ଏମାନଙ୍କ ମଧ୍ୟରୁ ଯେ କେହି ସେହି ମହାଯୋଗୀ ଈଶ୍ୱର ଦେବଙ୍କୁ ଶେଷରେ ଦର୍ଶନ କରିବ, ସେ ପାପକର୍ତ୍ତା ହେବ।
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Rudrakoṭi (implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A solemn pronouncement hangs over the crowd: whoever ends up seeing the great Yogin last is marked as a sinner—faces turn anxious, the press of bodies intensifies.
Turning darśana into competitive ego is censured; the text frames such attitude as spiritually blameworthy.
The warning occurs within the Rudrakoṭi/Camatkārapura tīrtha narrative where Śiva appears as a yogin.
No ritual is prescribed; it is an ethical injunction against ego-driven conduct in a sacred context.
