देवस्योत्तरदिग्भागे कुंडं तिष्ठति नित्यशः । तस्यां स्नात्वा मुनिश्रेष्ठ लिंगं मे पश्यते तु यः । स याति परमं स्थानं जरामरणवर्जितम्
devasyottaradigbhāge kuṃḍaṃ tiṣṭhati nityaśaḥ | tasyāṃ snātvā muniśreṣṭha liṃgaṃ me paśyate tu yaḥ | sa yāti paramaṃ sthānaṃ jarāmaraṇavarjitam
اے مونیوں کے شریشٹھ، دیوتا کے مندر کے شمالی حصے میں ہمیشہ ایک کُنڈ قائم ہے۔ اے پیشوا مونی، جو اس میں اشنان کر کے میرے لِنگ کا درشن کرے، وہ بڑھاپے اور موت سے پاک پرم دھام کو پہنچتا ہے۔
Śiva (Maheśvara)
Tirtha: Uttara-kuṇḍa (north tank of the deity)
Type: kund
Listener: muni-śreṣṭha / muni-sattama
Scene: Pilgrims bathe in a clear kuṇḍa situated north of a Śiva shrine; after bathing, they walk with wet hair and folded hands toward the liṅga for darśana; the scene conveys purity and transcendence.
Purification through tīrtha-snān and sanctification through darśana together are presented as a direct path to the highest spiritual state.
A specific kuṇḍa (sacred tank) situated north of the deity’s shrine in the Arbuda region, linked to Śiva’s liṅga.
