एवं तां स्नपनं तस्य सदा लिंगस्य कुर्वतीम् । न जानाति जनः कश्चिद्वने वृक्षसमाकुले
evaṃ tāṃ snapanaṃ tasya sadā liṃgasya kurvatīm | na jānāti janaḥ kaścidvane vṛkṣasamākule
یوں وہ اس لِنگ کا اشنان برابر کرتی رہی؛ مگر درختوں سے گھنے اس جنگل میں کسی انسان کو اس کی خبر نہ ہوئی۔
Narrator (within the Purāṇic dialogue; exact named speaker not in snippet)
Type: kshetra
Scene: In a thick, tree-crowded forest, the cow repeatedly bathes the liṅga; no humans appear, only layered trunks, vines, and dappled light—devotion occurring unseen.
True devotion does not require an audience; unseen service in sacred places carries profound merit.
The forest-grove setting of the Kalaśeśvara liṅga in the Śrī Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra narrative.
Regular liṅga-snapana (ablution/abhiṣeka) is described as ongoing worship.
