Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 92
लिंगरूपो हि भगवान्भविष्यति न चान्यथा । श्रीशैलो हि महेंद्रश्च तथा सह्याचलोगिरिः
liṃgarūpo hi bhagavānbhaviṣyati na cānyathā | śrīśailo hi maheṃdraśca tathā sahyācalogiriḥ
பகவான் நிச்சயமாக லிங்கரூபமாகவே வெளிப்படுவார்; வேறல்ல—ஸ்ரீசைலத்தில், மகேந்திரத்தில், மேலும் சஹ்யாசல மலைத்தொடரிலும்।
Kārttikeya
Tirtha: Śrīśaila; Mahendra; Sahyācala
Type: peak
Listener: Pilgrimage-inquirer audience (rṣi/śaunaka-type frame implied by Purāṇic style)
Scene: Śiva’s vow-like proclamation that He will manifest as liṅga at famed mountains; the peaks subtly take liṅga-silhouette while devas witness.
FAQs
Śiva’s presence becomes accessible through Liṅga-form in specific sacred landscapes, making pilgrimage a direct encounter with divinity.
Śrīśaila, Mahendra mountain, and the Sahya range are explicitly named as Liṅga-associated sacred sites.
No explicit ritual is stated; the implication is Liṅga-darśana and worship at these sites.
