ईश्वर उवाच । ततो गच्छेन्महादेवि देवं सिद्धेश्वरं परम् । तस्यैव पश्चिमे भागे सिद्धैः संस्थापितं पुरा
īśvara uvāca | tato gacchenmahādevi devaṃ siddheśvaraṃ param | tasyaiva paścime bhāge siddhaiḥ saṃsthāpitaṃ purā
ایشور نے فرمایا: “پھر اے مہادیوی! برتر دیوتا سدھیشور کے درشن کے لیے جاؤ۔ اسی مقدّس مقام کے مغربی حصّے میں سدھوں نے قدیم زمانے میں ایک لِنگ قائم کیا تھا۔”
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Siddheśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Śiva instructs Devī on the next stop of the pilgrimage: a coastal sacred precinct with a small shrine to Siddheśvara on the western side; faint presence of Siddhas as luminous ascetics in the background.
Seek out the divinized geography of Prabhāsa: approaching Siddheśvara is presented as a direct encounter with the supreme Śiva.
Siddheśvara in Prabhāsa Kṣetra, with mention of a Siddha-established liṅga to the west of the sacred locus.
A pilgrimage injunction: “one should go” (gacchet) to Siddheśvara—implying darśana and worship at the liṅga.
