पश्यन्पद्मासनस्थं च वैदनाथं महेश्वरम् । यमक्षरं वदंत्येव सर्वगं सर्ववेदिनम्
paśyanpadmāsanasthaṃ ca vaidanāthaṃ maheśvaram | yamakṣaraṃ vadaṃtyeva sarvagaṃ sarvavedinam
Ông chiêm ngưỡng Maheśvara Vaidyanātha ngự trong tư thế hoa sen—Đấng mà người đời quả gọi là “Âm Tự Bất Hoại”, trùm khắp và toàn tri.
Sūta (deduced: Nāgarakhaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya narration style)
Tirtha: Vaidyanātha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant Maheśvara Vaidyanātha seated in lotus posture, serene and omniscient, with a subtle aura suggesting all-pervasion; the devotee beholds him in awe and devotion.
Śiva is praised as the Imperishable, all-pervading knower; true pilgrimage culminates in darśana and inner realization of that Akṣara.
Vaidyanātha (a celebrated Śiva-tīrtha/temple tradition) is explicitly mentioned, indicating a Śaiva sacred site being praised in this chapter’s mahātmya.
No explicit ritual is stated here; the focus is on contemplative darśana of Vaidyanātha.
