लीनं मृग्येत यत्रैतदाब्रह्मस्तंबभाजनम् । अतः स भाज्यते सद्भिर्यल्लिंगं तद्विलोकितम्
līnaṃ mṛgyeta yatraitadābrahmastaṃbabhājanam | ataḥ sa bhājyate sadbhiryalliṃgaṃ tadvilokitam
Там, где весь этот мир — от Брахмы до былинки — ищется как растворённый; потому благие стремятся «разъять» и прозреть ту Реальность; и был узрен тот самый лиṅга (знак).
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages in the Purāṇic frame
Scene: A seeker-sage and Brahmā gaze upon a simple, radiant liṅga; around it, layered worlds (from Brahmā’s realm to grasses) fade like mist, implying dissolution into the sign.
Wise seekers inquire into where the entire hierarchy of existence dissolves, discerning the ‘liṅga’—the defining sign of the Real.
Kāśī’s Śaiva-mokṣa ethos is implied, where liṅga and liberation teachings are central in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa.
No explicit external rite; it recommends inquiry/penetrative discernment (mṛgya, bhājya) by the virtuous.
