तं दृष्ट्वा त्वथवा स्पृष्ट्वा जन्मादिमरणान्तकात् । मुच्यते पातकान्मृत्योः प्रसादात्तस्य भामिनि
taṃ dṛṣṭvā tvathavā spṛṣṭvā janmādimaraṇāntakāt | mucyate pātakānmṛtyoḥ prasādāttasya bhāmini
اے نورانیہ! اُس (لِنگ/دیوتا) کو محض دیکھ لینے یا چھو لینے سے ہی انسان پیدائش کے آغاز سے لے کر موت کے انجام تک—گناہوں سے اور خود موت سے بھی—اُس پروردگار کے فضل سے آزاد ہو جاتا ہے۔
Īśvara (Śiva) (deduced from section flow)
Tirtha: Śukra-pratiṣṭhita Liṅga (Prabhāsa)
Type: temple
Listener: bhāminī (a radiant female addressee within the narrative frame)
Scene: A pilgrim, addressed as ‘bhāminī’ in the narrative frame, beholds the liṅga; a luminous wave of grace washes over them, dissolving dark stains symbolizing sins and fear of death.
Even simple acts of devotion—darśana and reverent touch—are said to remove deep karmic burdens when supported by Śiva’s grace.
Prabhāsakṣetra, specifically the sacred presence connected with Śukreśvara.
Darśana (seeing) and sparśa (touching) of the consecrated liṅga as devotional acts.
