جو ہمارے فرمان کو مان کر فوراً اس لِنگ کو پھر سے قائم کرے گا، وہ خطرہ ٹال دے گا۔ ورنہ بے وقت ہی کھلا ہلاک واقع ہوگی—پورے تینوں لوکوں کی۔ یہ سچ میں کہتا ہوں۔

FAQs

Dharma is not passive: restoring sacred order (here, the liṅga) is portrayed as protecting the cosmos itself.

The sanctified zone is the Anarta-region Śaiva locus where the liṅga must be re-installed; the detailed tirtha-mahātmyam continues beyond this verse.

Liṅga re-establishment/installation (nidadhāti)—a form of restoring the deity’s emblem to its rightful seat.
