शंकुकर्णेश्वरं लिंगं शंकुकर्ण ग णार्चितम् । दृष्ट्वा न जायते जंतुर्जातु मातुर्महोदरे
śaṃkukarṇeśvaraṃ liṃgaṃ śaṃkukarṇa ga ṇārcitam | dṛṣṭvā na jāyate jaṃturjātu māturmahodare
శంకుకర్ణ గణులు ఆరాధించే శంకుకర్ణేశ్వర లింగాన్ని దర్శించినవాడు, మళ్లీ ఎప్పటికీ తల్లి గర్భంలో జన్మించడు.

Tirtha: Śaṃkukarṇeśvara
Type: temple
Scene: Inside a small Kāśī shrine, the Śaṃkukarṇeśvara liṅga is garlanded; gaṇas (Śiva’s attendants) are depicted in reverent worship around it, while a pilgrim receives a vision of the womb-cycle breaking like a shattered wheel.
Darśana of a revered Kāśī-liṅga is presented as a direct cause for liberation—freedom from repeated birth.
Śaṃkukarṇeśvara-liṅga in Kāśī.
Darśana (sacred viewing) of the liṅga; worship is referenced as performed by Śaṃkukarṇa’s gaṇas.
