स दृष्ट्वा तत्प्रभावं तल्लिंगं देवस्य शूलिनः । हाटकेश्वरसंज्ञस्य भयं चक्रे नरोद्भवम्
sa dṛṣṭvā tatprabhāvaṃ talliṃgaṃ devasya śūlinaḥ | hāṭakeśvarasaṃjñasya bhayaṃ cakre narodbhavam
Nang makita niya ang kapangyarihang iyon—ang liṅga ng Panginoong may tangan ng trident, na tinatawag na Hāṭakeśvara—siya’y nangamba na baka ito’y maging maaabot ng mga tao.
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara
Type: cave
Scene: Indra gazes at the Hāṭakeśvara-liṅga radiating formidable energy; his expression shifts from relief to anxious guardianship, as if contemplating how to keep such power from casual access.
The Purāṇa stresses the overwhelming potency of Śiva’s liṅga—so great that even Indra worries about its effects in the human realm.
Hāṭakeśvara liṅga, celebrated for its prabhāva (miraculous efficacy).
No direct prescription; it motivates the next verses about worship by humans.
