पूर्वं त्रेतायुगे देवि स्पर्शलिंगं तु तत्स्मृतम् । दिव्यं तेजोमयं नृणां स्पर्शनान्मुक्तिदायकम्
pūrvaṃ tretāyuge devi sparśaliṃgaṃ tu tatsmṛtam | divyaṃ tejomayaṃ nṛṇāṃ sparśanānmuktidāyakam
முன்னொரு காலத்தில், தேவி, திரேதாயுகத்தில் இது ‘ஸ்பர்ஷலிங்கம்’ எனப் பெயர் பெற்றது—தெய்வீகத் தேஜோமய லிங்கம்; அதன் தொடுதலால் மனிதர்க்கு முக்தி அளிக்கும்.
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Sparśa-liṅga (within Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: temple
Listener: Devī
Scene: A radiant, self-luminous liṅga called Sparśa-liṅga in Tretā-yuga; devotees attain mokṣa by mere touch; the air shimmers with divine brilliance.
Śiva’s presence in a tīrtha can be so potent that even simple devotional contact (sparśa) becomes liberating when joined with faith.
The Mahāprabhāsa context site, characterized in ancient time by the Sparśa-liṅga.
Sparśana (touching) the liṅga is described as a liberating act.
