पाताले सप्तमे चास्ति लिंगं श्रीहाटकेश्वरम् । ब्रह्मणा स्थापितं पार्थ सहस्रयोजनोच्छ्रितम्
pātāle saptame cāsti liṃgaṃ śrīhāṭakeśvaram | brahmaṇā sthāpitaṃ pārtha sahasrayojanocchritam
而在第七层帕塔拉(Pātāla)中,有一尊名为“室利哈塔凯湿伐罗”(Śrīhāṭakeśvara)的林伽。噢,帕尔塔(Pārtha),此林伽由梵天(Brahmā)所安立,高耸达一千由旬。
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) [deduced]
Tirtha: Śrīhāṭakeśvara-liṅga
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pārtha (Arjuna)
Scene: In the deepest jeweled cavern of the seventh Pātāla stands the colossal Śrīhāṭakeśvara liṅga, towering unimaginably; Brahmā is shown as the consecrator, while Nāgas and divine attendants surround the sanctum in reverent stillness.
Śiva’s presence is not confined to the human world—his liṅga sanctifies even Pātāla, teaching the universality of Śaiva dharma.
Śrīhāṭakeśvara-liṅga, located in the seventh Pātāla, established by Brahmā.
No explicit rite is stated here; the verse primarily establishes the sacred site and its divine installation.
