यो निष्पापेश्वरं लिंगं तत्र पश्यति मानवः । निष्पापो जायते वीर स तल्लिंगेक्षणात्क्षणात्
yo niṣpāpeśvaraṃ liṃgaṃ tatra paśyati mānavaḥ | niṣpāpo jāyate vīra sa talliṃgekṣaṇātkṣaṇāt
Hỡi dũng sĩ, ai đến đó chiêm bái Liṅga của Niṣpāpeśvara thì lập tức trở nên vô tội—được thanh tịnh ngay trong khoảnh khắc ấy chỉ nhờ một lần thấy Liṅga đó.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Niṣpāpeśvara
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim stands before the Niṣpāpeśvara liṅga in a small Kāśī shrine; lamps flicker, bilva leaves and water offerings glisten; the pilgrim’s face shows sudden relief and serenity as if a burden has fallen away.
Śiva-darśana in Kāśī is portrayed as immediately purifying; sincere sight (darśana) itself is a dharmic means of inner cleansing.
Niṣpāpeśvara—Śiva’s liṅga associated with instant removal of sin, within the Kāśī sacred landscape.
No dāna or vrata is specified here; the act emphasized is darśana—beholding the Niṣpāpeśvara liṅga.
