yaścaitacchṛṇuyānnityaṃ śraddhayā parayā yutaḥ | sa mucyetpātakātsadyaḥ paradārasamudbhavāt
جو شخص اعلیٰ ترین عقیدت کے ساتھ اسے روزانہ سنتا ہے، وہ فوراً پرائی بیوی سے تعلق کے گناہ سے نجات پا لیتا ہے۔
Purāṇic narrator stating the phalaśruti (benefit of hearing)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra (māhātmya-śravaṇa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/śrotṛ-gaṇa (implied)
Scene: A devotee sits in a temple mandapa listening daily to the māhātmya; the atmosphere is penitential yet peaceful, with the Śiva-liṅga in the background symbolizing absolution through sincere hearing.
Faithful listening to sacred māhātmya purifies grave moral faults and reinforces dharmic conduct.
The māhātmya being recited pertains to the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra tīrthas (Gautameśvara, Ahilyeśvara, etc.).
Nitya-śravaṇa: hearing/recitation of this account daily with supreme faith.
