सोमवारे विशेषेण यस्तल्लिंगं प्रपूजयेत् । तस्यान्वयेऽपि देवेशि कुष्ठी कश्चिन्न जायते
somavāre viśeṣeṇa yastalliṃgaṃ prapūjayet | tasyānvaye'pi deveśi kuṣṭhī kaścinna jāyate
Ôi Nữ Thần, ai thờ phụng Liṅga ấy, nhất là vào ngày thứ Hai, thì ngay trong dòng dõi người ấy cũng không ai sinh ra mắc bệnh cùi.
Śiva (addressing Devī/Pārvatī as ‘deveśi’)
Tirtha: Guptēśvara
Type: temple
Listener: Devī (addressed as Devēśi)
Scene: Devotees on a Monday offer bilva leaves and water to Guptēśvara; a maternal Devī presence is implied by the address ‘Devēśi’; a family stands behind, symbolizing lineage protection.
Time-sanctified devotion (Somavāra worship) yields enduring blessings that extend beyond the individual to the family line.
