यमलिंगं च दुष्कर्णे कपाली करवीरके । जागेश्वरे त्रिशूली च श्रीशैले त्रिपुरांतकम्
yamaliṃgaṃ ca duṣkarṇe kapālī karavīrake | jāgeśvare triśūlī ca śrīśaile tripurāṃtakam
Tại Duṣkarṇa, Ngài được tôn kính là Yamaliṅga; tại Karavīraka là Kapālī (Đấng mang sọ). Ở Jāgeśvara, Ngài là Triśūlī (Đấng cầm đinh ba), và tại Śrīśaila là Tripurāntaka (Đấng diệt Tripura).
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Duṣkarṇa (Yamaliṅga); Karavīraka (Kapālī); Jāgeśvara (Triśūlī); Śrīśaila (Tripurāntaka)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dynamic sequence: at Duṣkarṇa a mysterious twin-liṅga (Yamaliṅga) under stormy sky; at Karavīraka Śiva as Kapālī with skull-bowl and ash, surrounded by cremation-ground symbolism; at Jāgeśvara Śiva as Triśūlī holding trident amid Himalayan deodars; at Śrīśaila Tripurāntaka aiming the cosmic arrow, Tripura’s three cities aflame in the distance, yet devotees sheltered in a calm foreground.
The tīrthas recall Śiva’s protective power against evil (Tripurāntaka) and his renunciate symbolism (Kapālī), inspiring fearlessness and detachment.
Duṣkarṇa, Karavīraka, Jāgeśvara, and Śrīśaila.
No explicit rite; the verse primarily identifies how Śiva is to be invoked at each site.
