ਵਿਸ਼ਵੇਦੇਵ ਵਿਸ਼ਵੇਸ਼—ਜਗਤ ਦੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ—ਦੀ ਅਰਚਨਾ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਅਤੇ ਵਿਸ਼ਵੇਸ਼—ਜਗਤ-ਕਰਤਾ—ਭੀ ਅਰਚਨਾ ਕਰਦਾ ਹੈ। ਅਵਿਮੁਕਤੇਸ਼ਵਰ ਲਿੰਗ ਧਰਤੀ ਉੱਤੇ ਹੀ ਮੁਕਤੀ ਬਖ਼ਸ਼ਦਾ ਹੈ।
Skanda
Tirtha: Avimukteśvara-liṅga (Avimukta-kṣetra) associated with Viśveśa
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: The Viśvedevas offer worship to Viśveśa; in a paradoxical cosmic tableau, Viśveśa as world-maker is shown ‘worshipping’ (honoring) the Avimukteśvara liṅga, signifying supreme sanctity; a pilgrim receives a halo of ‘earthly liberation’.
Avimukteśvara is exalted as so supreme that even divine beings revere Him, and His grace yields liberation in embodied life.
Kāśī’s Avimukta-kṣetra, particularly the Avimukteśvara Liṅga and the lordship of Viśveśa.
Worship (arcana) is implied, but no detailed ritual steps are specified.
