श्रीमार्कण्डेय उवाच । ततो गच्छेन्महीपाल तापेश्वरमनुत्तमम् । यत्र सा हरिणी सिद्धा व्याधभीता नरेश्वर
śrīmārkaṇḍeya uvāca | tato gacchenmahīpāla tāpeśvaramanuttamam | yatra sā hariṇī siddhā vyādhabhītā nareśvara
Шри Маркандейя сказал: Затем, о хранитель земли, следует отправиться к несравненному Тапешваре, где та лань, устрашённая охотником, достигла совершенства, о царь.
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Tāpeśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: King (mahīpāla/nareśvara)
Scene: Mārkaṇḍeya instructs the king to proceed to Tāpeśvara; in the background, a doe near a waterbody and a hunter with bow, foreshadowing the miracle; a Śiva-liṅga shrine stands serene.
Even fear and crisis can become the doorway to spiritual accomplishment when it leads to a sacred locus and divine grace.
Tāpeśvara, presented as an unsurpassed Śaiva tīrtha in the Reva Khaṇḍa pilgrimage sequence.
A general prescription of pilgrimage: ‘one should go’ to Tāpeśvara; specific rites are not detailed in this verse.
