कोस्य लिंगस्य महिमा केनैतच्च प्रतिष्ठितम् । एतं विस्तरतो ब्रूहि गौरीहृदयनंदन
kosya liṃgasya mahimā kenaitacca pratiṣṭhitam | etaṃ vistarato brūhi gaurīhṛdayanaṃdana
Liṅga này có vinh quang ra sao, và do ai thiết lập? Xin nói rõ tường tận, hỡi người con yêu dấu làm hoan hỷ trái tim của Gaurī.
Agastya
Tirtha: Ratneśvara (Kāśī)
Type: temple
Listener: Skanda
Scene: Agastya presses for details: the liṅga’s glory and the identity of its establisher; Skanda is addressed as Gaurī’s beloved son, emphasizing divine authority and tenderness.
Understanding the mahimā (spiritual potency) and pratiṣṭhā (consecration history) of a liṅga deepens devotion and right orientation to pilgrimage.
The context is Ratneśvara liṅga in Kāśī, whose glory and establishment are being asked about.
Pratiṣṭhā (establishment/consecration) is referenced, though not prescribed as a step-by-step ritual here.
