tena tatsthāpitaṃ liṅgaṃ pūtikeśvaramuttamam | yastatra manujo bhaktyā snāyādbharatasattama
پس اس نے وہاں وہ اعلیٰ لِنگ قائم کیا، جو پوتیکیشور کے نام سے معروف ہے۔ اے بھارت کے برگزیدہ! جو کوئی انسان وہاں بھکتی کے ساتھ اشنان کرے—
Śrīmārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Pūtikeśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: A king addressed as ‘Bharata-sattama’/rājendra
Scene: The healed king establishes the Pūtikeśvara liṅga; pilgrims bathe in the Narmadā with folded hands, then approach the shrine with offerings.
Bhakti joined to tīrtha-snānā at a Śiva-liṅga site is praised as a direct path to purification and blessing.
Pūtikeśvara—specifically the liṅga and its bathing-place (tīrtha) connected with it.
Devotional bathing (snāna) at the Pūtikeśvara tīrtha is explicitly recommended.
