FAQs

Anger clouds even ascetics; sacred geography often arises from such episodes, but dharma urges mastery over krodha.

Prabhāsakṣetra through the fame of the Mūlacaṇḍīśa liṅga, a localized manifestation celebrated in the Māhātmya.

None; the verse focuses on the naming/fame of the liṅga and the sages’ reaction.
