तत्रैकमपि मासार्धं यो भक्त्या पूजयेद्धरम् । स सर्वपापयुक्तोऽपि शिवलोके महीयते
tatraikamapi māsārdhaṃ yo bhaktyā pūjayeddharam | sa sarvapāpayukto'pi śivaloke mahīyate
Ai ở nơi ấy mà thành kính thờ phụng Đức Chúa, dù chỉ nửa tháng, thì dẫu mang đầy mọi tội lỗi cũng được tôn vinh trong cõi của Śiva.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice; likely Sūta within Nāgarakhaṇḍa narration)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Dvijottama (unnamed)
Scene: A sequence-like scene: a devotee remains in the kṣetra for half a month, performing daily liṅga-pūjā with bilva, water, lamps; the culmination shows the devotee radiant, welcomed toward Śiva-loka.
Devotional worship (bhakti) performed at a sanctified kṣetra can elevate even the sinful to honor in Śiva’s divine realm.
The “there” refers back to Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra in Ānarta described in the preceding verse.
A sustained practice of pūjā (worship) performed with devotion for ‘māsārdha’ (half a month).
