ज्वालेश्वरं तु तत्तीर्थं त्रिषु लोकेषु विश्रुतम् । तत्र ज्वाला नदी पार्थ प्रस्रुता शिवनिर्मिता
jvāleśvaraṃ tu tattīrthaṃ triṣu lokeṣu viśrutam | tatra jvālā nadī pārtha prasrutā śivanirmitā
ఆ తీర్థం ‘జ్వాలేశ్వర’మని త్రిలోకాల్లో ప్రసిద్ధి పొందింది. ఓ పార్థా, అక్కడ శివుడు సృష్టించిన ‘జ్వాలా’ అనే నది ప్రవహిస్తుంది.
