लिंगं महाप्रभावं हि दर्शनात्पापनाशनम् । वसूनां पञ्चमो योऽसावनिलः परिकीर्तितः
liṃgaṃ mahāprabhāvaṃ hi darśanātpāpanāśanam | vasūnāṃ pañcamo yo'sāvanilaḥ parikīrtitaḥ
Esse liṅga é, de fato, de grande poder; apenas ao contemplá-lo, os pecados são destruídos. Anila —assim celebrado— é o quinto entre os Vasus.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Anileśvara
Type: temple
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A radiant Śiva-liṅga labeled Anileśvara, with a subtle wind motif (fluttering flags, swirling incense smoke). A devotee stands in añjali; above, a symbolic panel shows the Vasu Anila as a luminous vāyu-deity.
Darśana of a consecrated liṅga in a famed tīrtha is itself a purifier, highlighting the sanctity of place and presence.
Anileśvara liṅga in Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
Darśana (reverent viewing) is emphasized as a merit-giving act; no additional rite is specified here.
