女神啊,若解脱了由母而起、由父与祖先而起,以及同样由上师而起的诸债,便能净除一切罪垢;内心无二无争,遂得解脱。
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Vṛhaspatīśvara (Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (addressed as ‘devi’)
Scene: A devotee, now radiant and calm, stands before the liṅga; behind appear symbolic figures of mother, ancestors, and guru blessing him; dark stains representing sins dissolve into light, and the devotee’s face shows ‘nir-dvandva’ serenity.
True purification includes resolving foundational obligations to parents, ancestors, and guru, culminating in inner freedom and liberation.
Prabhāsakṣetra, as part of the Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa’s sacred-site glorification.
No single ritual is newly prescribed here; it states the fruit—purification and mokṣa—connected to the preceding tīrtha practice.
