स्कन्द उवाच । तदा प्रभृति कुंभोत्थ लिंगं व्याघ्रेश्वराभिधम् । ज्येष्ठेशादुत्तरेभागे दृष्टं स्पृष्टं भयापहम्
skanda uvāca | tadā prabhṛti kuṃbhottha liṃgaṃ vyāghreśvarābhidham | jyeṣṭheśāduttarebhāge dṛṣṭaṃ spṛṣṭaṃ bhayāpaham
سکند نے کہا: اُس وقت سے، اے کُمبھ سے پیدا ہونے والے اگستیہ، وہ لِنگ ‘ویاغھریشور’ کے نام سے معروف ہوا۔ جییشٹھیش کے شمالی حصے میں اس کا محض دیدار یا لمس خوف کو دور کر دیتا ہے۔
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.
