यः शुचिश्च शिवं ध्यायन्प्रासादकूपकर्तरि । जलप्रतिग्रहाभावात्पिबतोऽस्य समं फलम्
yaḥ śuciśca śivaṃ dhyāyanprāsādakūpakartari | jalapratigrahābhāvātpibato'sya samaṃ phalam
தூய மனத்துடன் சிவனைத் தியானித்து, கோயிலும் கிணறும் அமைத்தவரின் கிணற்றுநீரை பருகுபவன்—நீரில் ‘பிரதிக்ரஹம்’ (தானம் ஏற்றல்) இல்லை என்பதால்—அவருக்குச் சமமான பலனை அடைகிறான்.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative voice to sages)
Tirtha: Prāsāda-kūpa (temple well)
Type: kund
Scene: A clean pilgrim drinks from a temple well, hands cupped, eyes softened in Śiva-meditation; nearby stands a Śiva-prāsāda and the well’s builder/donor is symbolically present through a dedicatory plaque or offering.
Service to the public through Śaiva works (temple and well) spreads merit widely; even beneficiaries gain spiritual fruit when aligned with Śiva-remembrance.
No particular tīrtha is named; the verse praises Śaiva public works as a universal dharma within the Purāṇic framework.
Śiva-dhyāna (meditation on Śiva) while using a publicly dedicated well; emphasis on water being offered without transactional ‘gift-acceptance’.
