चैत्रमास त्रयोदश्यां शुक्लायां वरवर्णिनि । पूजयेद्विधिवद्भक्त्या पौंडरीकफलं लभेत्
caitramāsa trayodaśyāṃ śuklāyāṃ varavarṇini | pūjayedvidhivadbhaktyā pauṃḍarīkaphalaṃ labhet
Hỡi phu nhân dung sắc đoan trang, vào ngày mười ba của nửa tháng sáng (Śukla) trong tháng Caitra, nếu chí thành phụng thờ đúng nghi pháp, ắt đạt quả phúc ngang với lễ tế Puṇḍarīka.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Pāpahara-liṅga (Aruṇa-pratiṣṭhita) near Siddhaliṅga, Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Bright half of Caitra, trayodaśī: devotees arrive with fresh bilva and flowers; a priest performs abhiṣeka and arcana at the liṅga, while a symbolic yajña-fire motif in the background hints at Puṇḍarīka-phala equivalence.
Ritual discipline (vidhi) joined with devotion (bhakti) magnifies merit, making a simple pūjā equal to great Vedic-scale results.
The context is Prabhāsa-kṣetra in the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya; the rite pertains to worship at the local liṅga/shrine being described in this adhyāya.
Perform vidhivat pūjā on Caitra month, bright fortnight, Trayodaśī (13th tithi), with bhakti, to gain Puṇḍarīka-level merit.
