«Quando ocorrer a conjunção do planeta Guru (Júpiter) com o asterismo Puṣya, quem entre os homens venerar este liṅga—tudo o que empreender alcançará plena realização.»
Skanda (deduced; Śiva’s boon continues)
Tirtha: Bṛhaspatīśvara
Type: temple
Scene: Night-sky over Kāśī with Jupiter (Guru) symbolically prominent; devotees worship the Bṛhaspatīśvara liṅga with lamps and flowers, while a priest marks Puṣya nakṣatra on a palm-leaf almanac; the atmosphere suggests ‘undertakings attaining success’.
Right worship at an auspicious time aligns human effort with divine grace, bringing success.
Bṛhaspatīśvara-liṅga in Kāśī, especially revered during Guru-Puṣya yoga.
Perform liṅga-arcana (worship) specifically during Guru-Puṣya samāyoga for attainment of siddhi.
