तल्लिंगं समनुप्राप्य गायत्रीं जपते तु यः । ब्राह्मणस्तु शुचिर्भूत्वा मुच्यते दुष्प्रतिग्रहात्
talliṃgaṃ samanuprāpya gāyatrīṃ japate tu yaḥ | brāhmaṇastu śucirbhūtvā mucyate duṣpratigrahāt
Ai đến gần liṅga ấy và trì tụng Gāyatrī, thì vị brāhmaṇa ấy, sau khi được thanh tịnh, sẽ được giải thoát khỏi lỗi lầm do thọ nhận lễ vật không đúng pháp.
Īśvara (Śiva) (deduced from adjoining context in this prasaṅga)
Tirtha: Gayatrī-pratiṣṭhita Ādya-liṅga (Pāpaghnaliṅga)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A purified brāhmaṇa sits near the liṅga in japa posture, counting a mālā; the liṅga radiates calm; symbolic ‘burden’ of improper gifts dissolves as dark knots/coins fade away.
Mantra-japa performed at a powerful tīrtha becomes a form of purification (prāyaścitta), restoring dharmic integrity.
The liṅga associated with Gāyatrī in Prabhāsa Kṣetra, within the Brahmakuṇḍa Māhātmya setting.
Approach the liṅga and perform Gāyatrī-japa; the stated fruit is release from the sin of duṣpratigraha.
