तस्याधस्तात्स्वयं देवो हाटकेश्वरसंज्ञितः । पुरस्य विद्यते तस्य प्रतापेनाखिला जनाः
tasyādhastātsvayaṃ devo hāṭakeśvarasaṃjñitaḥ | purasya vidyate tasya pratāpenākhilā janāḥ
اس کے نیچے خود خدا—جو ہاٹکیشور کے نام سے معروف ہے—مقیم ہے؛ اس شہر کے پرتاب سے سب لوگ متاثر اور مغلوب ہو جاتے ہیں۔
Indra
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: A sacred cityscape with a subterranean/underlying sanctum where Hāṭakeśvara abides; pilgrims above, the liṅga’s radiance subtly ‘holding’ the city in a field of power.
A holy place is holy because the deity truly abides there as kṣetra-devatā, radiating protective spiritual power.
Hāṭakeśvara and its associated sacred city/kṣetra.
No explicit rite is stated; the verse emphasizes the ontological presence of the deity in the kṣetra.
