सूर्य्यबिंबसमप्रख्यं सर्प मेखलमंडितम् । कुक्कुटांडकमानं तद्भूमिमध्ये व्यवस्थितम्
sūryyabiṃbasamaprakhyaṃ sarpa mekhalamaṃḍitam | kukkuṭāṃḍakamānaṃ tadbhūmimadhye vyavasthitam
அது சூரிய வட்டம்போல் ஒளிர்கிறது; பாம்பு மேகலையால் அலங்கரிக்கப்பட்டது; கோழி முட்டை அளவுடையதாக, நிலத்தின் நடுவே உறுதியாக நிற்கிறது।
Dakṣa
Tirtha: Sparśa-liṅga (descriptive iconography)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Soma
Scene: A small egg-sized liṅga emerges from the earth’s center, blazing like the sun; a serpent coils as a jeweled belt around it, the ground around subtly sanctified.
The divine can be present in a small, tangible form—radiant and numinous—inviting embodied devotion at a specific sacred spot.
The svayaṃbhū liṅga within Prabhāsa-kṣetra, described as set in the earth’s midst near the sacred coastal region.
No explicit rite; the verse provides recognizable markers for identifying the liṅga at the site.
