श्रीमार्कण्डेय उवाच । तस्यैवानन्तरं तीर्थं लिङ्गेश्वरमिति श्रुतम् । दर्शनाद्देवदेवस्य यत्र पापं प्रणश्यति
śrīmārkaṇḍeya uvāca | tasyaivānantaraṃ tīrthaṃ liṅgeśvaramiti śrutam | darśanāddevadevasya yatra pāpaṃ praṇaśyati
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya nói: “Kế đó có một thánh địa nổi danh là Liṅgeśvara. Tại nơi ấy, chỉ cần được darśana Đấng Thần của chư thần, tội lỗi liền tiêu trừ.”
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Liṅgeśvara
Type: ghat
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: Mārkaṇḍeya points out the next tīrtha: a riverbank shrine with a luminous Śiva-liṅga; pilgrims arrive, and a dark aura of sin is symbolically dispelled by the liṅga’s radiance.
Darśana of Śiva at a sanctified site is itself a purifier; sacred geography and devotion work together to dissolve pāpa.
Liṅgeśvara Tīrtha, described as located immediately after the previously mentioned tīrtha in Revākhaṇḍa.
Darśana (visiting and beholding the deity) is highlighted as efficacious; no further rite is specified in this verse.
