caturdhā pūrayelliṅgaṃ tasya puṇyaphalaṃ śṛṇu | brahmahatyā surāpānaṃ steyaṃ gurvaṅganāgamaḥ
లింగాన్ని నాలుగు విధాలుగా పూరయించి (అర్పించి) చేయాలి; దాని పుణ్యఫలాన్ని విను. మహాపాపాలు—బ్రహ్మహత్య, సురాపానం, చౌర్యం, గురుపత్నీగమనం.
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya (didactic narration)
Tirtha: Revā/Narmadā-liṅga-tīrtha (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A Śiva-liṅga on a riverbank shrine being ‘filled’/bathed in four ways—streams of water, milk, ghee, and honey (or water in four vessels), with priests chanting; the Narmadā flowing nearby.
Śaiva worship is framed as transformative and purificatory, while dharma is guarded by naming the gravest transgressions.
The ongoing Revākhaṇḍa Narmadā tīrtha context; the verse shifts to liṅga-worship connected to the tīrtha’s merit.
A “fourfold” act of filling/offering to the liṅga (caturdhā pūrayet liṅgam), presented as a potent religious observance.
