hāṭakeśvaraje kṣetre viśvāmitrapratiṣṭhitaḥ | mārtaṇḍo'sti suvikhyātaḥ sarvakuṣṭhavināśakaḥ
В священном кшетре Хāṭакешвары пребывает прославленный Мартанда (божество Солнца), установленный Вишвамитрой, знаменитый как уничтожитель всякой проказы.
Unnamed Purāṇic narrator
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra (Mārtaṇḍa-sthāna)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant Sun-deity icon (Mārtaṇḍa) in a shrine within Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra; Viśvāmitra performing the original installation; devotees seeking cure from leprosy approach with offerings.
A tīrtha becomes a channel of grace through consecration and devotion; worship of the Sun here is praised as a powerful remover of affliction.
Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra, where the famed Mārtaṇḍa installed by Viśvāmitra is present.
Not yet a step-by-step rite; it establishes the deity and the promised healing fruit that the later prescribed circumambulation will confer.
