पुनश्चंद्रेण तत्प्राप्तं लिंगं चंद्रेश्वरं प्रिये । ब्रह्महत्यादिपापानां नाशनं पुण्यवर्द्धनम्
punaścaṃdreṇa tatprāptaṃ liṃgaṃ caṃdreśvaraṃ priye | brahmahatyādipāpānāṃ nāśanaṃ puṇyavarddhanam
ପୁନର୍ବାର, ପ୍ରିୟେ, ସେହି ଲିଙ୍ଗ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ ହୋଇ ‘ଚନ୍ଦ୍ରେଶ୍ୱର’ ନାମେ ପରିଚିତ ହେଲା। ଏହା ବ୍ରହ୍ମହତ୍ୟା ଆଦି ପାପ ନାଶ କରେ ଏବଂ ପୁଣ୍ୟ ବଢ଼ାଏ।
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Candreśvara-liṅga (Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: The Moon-god (Candra), wan and penitent, receives or ‘obtains’ the liṅga; as he worships, his radiance returns, and the liṅga is hailed as Candreśvara, destroyer of brahmahatyā and other sins.
Śiva’s presence at a tīrtha provides profound purification—even for the gravest transgressions—when approached with reverence.
Candreśvara liṅga in Prabhāsakṣetra.
No explicit rite is stated; the verse highlights prāyaścitta-like फल (benefit): destruction of major sins and growth of puṇya.
