मूर्तयो ब्रह्मविष्ण्वर्कशिवविघ्नेश्वरादिकाः । लिंगं शैवमिति ख्यातं यत्रैतत्तीर्थमेव तत्
mūrtayo brahmaviṣṇvarkaśivavighneśvarādikāḥ | liṃgaṃ śaivamiti khyātaṃ yatraitattīrthameva tat
As manifestações divinas—de Brahmā, Viṣṇu, o Sol, Śiva, Vighneśvara e outros—onde quer que isto seja conhecido como um Liṅga śaiva, esse mesmo lugar é, de fato, um tīrtha.
Śiva (Devadeva)
Tirtha: Liṅga-centered tīrtha (general principle applied to Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (frame); Devī is the immediate addressee in the quoted dialogue
Scene: A sacred precinct showing icons of Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Sūrya, Gaṇeśa, and others arranged around a central Śaiva liṅga; the teaching declares the whole locus a tīrtha when recognized as liṅga-centered.
Sacredness is anchored in Śiva’s liṅga principle; even diverse divine forms are integrated into the tīrtha-identity where the Śaiva liṅga is recognized.
A general rule for Kāśī’s sacred geography: any locus renowned for a Śaiva liṅga is itself a tīrtha.
Recognition and worship of the Śaiva liṅga as the defining marker of a tīrtha; no specific vrata/snana is detailed in this verse.
