vayamapyatra śuddhyarthaṃ toṣārthaṃ skandarudrayoḥ | sādhvarthe cātmalābhāya kurmo liṃgaparaṃparām
我们也将如此:为在此得清净,为令军荼与鲁陀罗欢喜,为成就善业,并为自得灵性之益,我们将建立相续的林伽。
Nārada (reporting the resolve of the devas)
Tirtha: Mahīsāgara-saṅgama
Type: sangam
Scene: A group of devas/sages at the saṅgama take a collective vow: for purification and to please Skanda and Rudra, they plan a ‘liṅga succession’—a line of liṅgas along the bank.
Purification, divine pleasure, and self-realization are linked to devotional acts performed in sacred spaces.
The same tīrtha locale of Mahī–Sāgara Saṅgama where the liṅgas are being established.
Creating a liṅga-paraṃparā—establishing multiple liṅgas as an ongoing devotional practice.
