तस्मात्सर्वप्रयत्नेन स्नात्वा भूतीश्वरे तु यः । पूजयेद्देवमीशानं स बाह्याभ्यन्तरः शुचिः
tasmātsarvaprayatnena snātvā bhūtīśvare tu yaḥ | pūjayeddevamīśānaṃ sa bāhyābhyantaraḥ śuciḥ
پس ہر طرح کی کوشش کے ساتھ جو بھوتیشور میں اسنان کر کے ربّ ایشان دیو کی پوجا کرے، وہ باہر سے بھی اور اندر سے بھی پاک ہو جاتا ہے۔
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Bhūtīśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: A pilgrim completes snana and approaches the Bhūtīśvara linga, offering bilva leaves and water, lamp flames flickering; the devotee’s face shows calm inner cleansing.
Tīrtha-bathing becomes complete when joined with devotion—worship of Śiva purifies both conduct and consciousness.
Bhūtīśvara, presented as a Śaiva tīrtha within the Revā Khaṇḍa (Narmadā-region sacred geography).
Bathe at Bhūtīśvara and then perform pūjā to Īśāna (Śiva).
