एतद्वः सर्वमाख्यातमाख्यानं पापनाशनम् । अचलेश्वरदेवस्य तस्मिन्क्षेत्रे निवासिनः
etadvaḥ sarvamākhyātamākhyānaṃ pāpanāśanam | acaleśvaradevasya tasminkṣetre nivāsinaḥ
یوں میں نے تمہیں یہ سارا بیان سنایا جو گناہوں کو مٹانے والا ہے—اس کشتَر میں بسنے والے بھگوان اَچلیشور اور وہاں کے رہنے والوں کے بارے میں۔
Sūta
Tirtha: Acaleśvara kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Dvāija-sattamāḥ / Śaunaka and sages (typical Naimiṣāraṇya frame; not explicit in this verse)
Scene: A sage-narrator concludes the account, addressing listeners; behind him a serene vision of Acaleśvara shrine and the peaceful kṣetra-dwellers, suggesting sin-destruction through hearing.
Hearing and preserving tīrtha-māhātmya is itself a purifier; the story functions as pāpa-nāśana through remembrance of the kṣetra and its deity.
Acaleśvara-kṣetra (the sacred region of Lord Acaleśvara), including its resident community’s sanctity.
Implicit śravaṇa (listening) to the māhātmya as a sin-destroying act; no detailed rite is specified.
