तत्पत्रैस्तत्फलैर्वापि संपूज्यः करुणेश्वरः । यो न जानाति तल्लिंगं सम्यग्ज्ञानविवर्जितः
tatpatraistatphalairvāpi saṃpūjyaḥ karuṇeśvaraḥ | yo na jānāti talliṃgaṃ samyagjñānavivarjitaḥ
Karuṇeśvara nên được phụng thờ đúng pháp bằng lá của cây ấy, hoặc cả bằng trái của nó. Ai không biết Liṅga ấy thì thiếu vắng tri kiến chân chánh.
Skanda
Tirtha: Karuṇeśvara (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee in Kāśī offers fresh leaves and small fruits at a modest shrine of Karuṇeśvara-liṅga; the liṅga is garlanded, with a sacred tree nearby; priests and pilgrims watch quietly as lamps flicker.
Right understanding includes recognizing Kāśī’s sacred manifestations of Śiva; even simple offerings become meaningful when aligned with that knowledge.
Karuṇeśvara Liṅga (and, by implication, its associated sacred tree whose leaves/fruits are offered).
Worship Karuṇeśvara using the associated leaves and/or fruits as offerings.
