噢舍尔瓦,不为黑暗所染者;遍一切处者;赐予通往天界之道的喜乐,并赐解脱者;噢安陀迦阿修罗之敌;噢披垂结发者——我向你顶礼。愿你赐予礼拜者所求福佑。
Mārtaṇḍa (Sūrya), inferred from context
Tirtha: Viśvanātha (Kāśī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva as Kapardin with matted locks, luminous and all-pervading; a subdued depiction of Andhaka’s defeat in the background; the devotee bows seeking both heaven’s path and liberation.
Śiva grants both worldly elevation (svarga) and the highest goal (mokṣa); devotion aligns life toward liberation.
Kāśī, where Śiva is especially revered as the giver of apavarga (final release).
No direct prescription; the implied practice is stotra-japa and bowing to Śiva.
