यस्य प्रसिद्धिरतुला वृद्धिलिंगमिति द्विजाः । यस्य दर्शनमात्रेण मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः
yasya prasiddhiratulā vṛddhiliṃgamiti dvijāḥ | yasya darśanamātreṇa mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ
اے دو بار جنم لینے والو! جس کی شہرت ‘وردھی لِنگ’ کے نام سے بے مثال ہے؛ اس کے محض دیدار سے انسان تمام گناہوں سے رہائی پاتا ہے۔
Prahlāda (continuing narration, addressing dvijāḥ within the discourse)
Tirtha: Vṛddhiliṅga
Type: kshetra
Listener: Dvija-s (twice-born)
Scene: A revered liṅga shrine named Vṛddhiliṅga, approached by brāhmaṇas and pilgrims; the liṅga radiates sanctity, suggesting instant purification through sight.
Purāṇic tīrtha theology holds that darśana of a supremely sanctified liṅga can dissolve accumulated pāpa when approached with reverence.
The renowned Vṛddhiliṅga (associated with the Indrapada/Indreśvara sacred complex) within the Dvārakā Māhātmya.
Darśana (seeing) of the Vṛddhiliṅga is itself stated as the efficacious act.
