ततस्ते दानवाः शेषा ज्ञात्वा तल्लिंगसंभवम् । माहात्म्यं वृषनाथस्य क्षेत्रस्यास्योद्भवस्य च
tataste dānavāḥ śeṣā jñātvā talliṃgasaṃbhavam | māhātmyaṃ vṛṣanāthasya kṣetrasyāsyodbhavasya ca
Тогда оставшиеся данавы, узнав происхождение того Лингама, постигли величие Вришанатхи (Vṛṣanātha) и также священное явление этого святого кшетры.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator within Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya)
Tirtha: Vṛṣanātha
Type: kshetra
Scene: The remaining dānavas, humbled, listen and learn the origin of the Liṅga; the Vṛṣanātha shrine or a radiant Liṅga appears as the focal point, emanating light that transforms their demeanor from hostility to reverence.
Even opponents are transformed when they recognize the divine origin of a sacred symbol and the māhātmya of its kṣetra.
The Vṛṣanātha-liṅga and the associated kṣetra (holy region) being praised in Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya.
This verse does not prescribe a rite; it introduces the recognition of the liṅga’s origin and the kṣetra’s glory.
