विवरस्य च मध्येन समागच्छन्महाप्रभम् । सर्वरत्नमयं लिंगं स्थितं कल्पतरोरधः
vivarasya ca madhyena samāgacchanmahāprabham | sarvaratnamayaṃ liṃgaṃ sthitaṃ kalpataroradhaḥ
شگاف کے بیچ سے گزرتے ہوئے وہ ایک عظیم نور تک پہنچا؛ کلپترُو کے نیچے سب جواہرات سے بنا ہوا لِنگ قائم تھا۔

The divine reveals itself as luminous presence—Śiva’s liṅga—often in wondrous, sacred landscapes.
A specific named tīrtha is not given in this verse; it introduces a sacred spot featuring a gem-like liṅga beneath a kalpataru.
