बृहस्पतीश्वरं लिंगं मया गोप्यं कलौ युगे । अस्य संदर्शनादेव प्रतिभा प्रतिलभ्यते
bṛhaspatīśvaraṃ liṃgaṃ mayā gopyaṃ kalau yuge | asya saṃdarśanādeva pratibhā pratilabhyate
“Liṅga Bṛhaspatīśvara này sẽ được Ta gìn giữ kín đáo trong thời Kali. Tuy vậy, chỉ cần chiêm bái thôi cũng liền đạt được pratibhā—trí tuệ linh ứng.”
Skanda (deduced; Śiva’s declaration)
Tirtha: Bṛhaspatīśvara
Type: temple
Scene: A partially concealed shrine or subterranean niche in Kāśī holds the Bṛhaspatīśvara liṅga; a devotee catches a fleeting glimpse, and a subtle radiance rises toward the forehead symbolizing pratibhā; the mood is secret, protective, and wondrous.
Even in Kali-yuga, sacred darśana in Kāśī bestows inner illumination and inspired insight.
Bṛhaspatīśvara-liṅga in Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), praised for granting pratibhā through mere दर्शन.
Darśana itself is presented as efficacious; no additional rite is required in this verse.
