यत्पाताले स्थितं लिंगं ब्रह्मणा संप्रतिष्ठितम् । हाटकेश्वरसंज्ञं तु तदिहायातु सत्व रम्
yatpātāle sthitaṃ liṃgaṃ brahmaṇā saṃpratiṣṭhitam | hāṭakeśvarasaṃjñaṃ tu tadihāyātu satva ram
పాతాళంలో ఉన్న, బ్రహ్మదేవుడు ప్రతిష్ఠించిన, ‘హాటకేశ్వర’ అనే నామంతో ప్రసిద్ధమైన ఆ లింగం త్వరగా ఇక్కడికి రానుగాక.
Citraśarman (continuing)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: A glowing liṅga in an underworld cavern, set upon a pedestal, with Brahmā’s earlier consecration implied via lotus and four-faced iconography; Citraśarman invokes it to come swiftly to the surface realm.
The sanctity of a liṅga is tied to divine and cosmic lineage (Brahmā’s installation) and to the devotee’s intent to bring that sanctity into the human realm.
Hāṭakeśvara is explicitly named; the verse supports the origin-glory of the Hāṭakeśvara shrine/tīrtha in the Nāgarakhaṇḍa.
It implies the transfer/manifestation and subsequent installation of the Hāṭakeśvara liṅga at the local sacred site.
