स्कन्द उवाच । तदा प्रभृति कुंभोत्थ लिंगं व्याघ्रेश्वराभिधम् । ज्येष्ठेशादुत्तरेभागे दृष्टं स्पृष्टं भयापहम्
skanda uvāca | tadā prabhṛti kuṃbhottha liṃgaṃ vyāghreśvarābhidham | jyeṣṭheśāduttarebhāge dṛṣṭaṃ spṛṣṭaṃ bhayāpaham
Sinabi ni Skanda: Mula noon, O Agastya na isinilang sa banga, ang Liṅgang yaon ay tinawag na Vyāghreśvara. Sa hilaga ng Jyeṣṭheśa, ang pagtanaw lamang—o paghipo—rito ay nag-aalis ng takot.
Skanda
Tirtha: Vyāghreśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Agastya (Kumbhodbhava)
Scene: Skanda instructs Agastya (Kumbhodbhava) about the naming of Vyāghreśvara; a compact Kāśī lane with a small liṅga-shrine, Jyeṣṭheśa indicated to the south; devotees approach for darśana and sparśa, their fear dissolving.
Kāśī’s Śaiva sacred geography is salvific: darśana and sparśa of the Liṅga are themselves fear-dispelling acts.
Vyāghreśvara Liṅga in Kāśī, located to the north of Jyeṣṭheśa.
Darśana (seeing) and sparśa (touching) of the Vyāghreśvara Liṅga are stated as spiritually efficacious.
