अगस्त्येश्वरनामानं कल्पलिंगं सुरप्रियम् । यश्चैतच्छुणुयाद्भक्त्या ऋषेस्तस्य विचेष्टितम् । अहोरात्रकृतात्पापात्तत्क्षणा देव मुच्यते
agastyeśvaranāmānaṃ kalpaliṃgaṃ surapriyam | yaścaitacchuṇuyādbhaktyā ṛṣestasya viceṣṭitam | ahorātrakṛtātpāpāttatkṣaṇā deva mucyate
Ito ang liṅga na tumutupad ng hangarin na tinatawag na Agastyeśvara, minamahal ng mga diyos. Sinumang makinig nang may debosyon sa salaysay ng mga gawa ng ṛṣi na iyon, O Panginoon, ay agad na napapalaya sa mga kasalanang nagawa sa araw at gabi.
Īśvara (Śiva) (contextual continuation; verse includes a vocative ‘deva’)
Tirtha: Agastyeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: A serene shrine of Agastyeśvara: a radiant liṅga adorned with bilva and garlands; Ṛṣi Agastya’s presence implied through a small ascetic figure or water-pot (kamaṇḍalu). Devotees sit in a semicircle listening to a reciter; a subtle aura suggests instant purification.
Bhakti expressed through śravaṇa (devotional listening) purifies quickly; remembrance of sacred deeds and sacred sites removes sin.
Agastyeśvara (the kalpa-liṅga) in Prabhāsa Kṣetra, associated with Agastya’s āśrama and Hāṭakeśvara tradition.
Śravaṇa: listen devoutly to the narrative of Agastya and the Agastyeśvara liṅga’s greatness.
