他安立大林伽之后,便以虔敬之心供奉礼拜。整整一万年间,牛旗之主(Vṛṣabhadhvaja,即湿婆)受其供养与崇敬。
Śiva (narration)
Tirtha: Varuṇeśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Varuṇa establishes a great liṅga and worships Śiva with devotion for ten thousand years; Śiva is invoked as Vṛṣabhadhvaja, the bull-bannered Lord.
Steady devotion—expressed through establishing and worshipping the liṅga—forms the archetype of sacred-site merit.
Varuṇeśvara liṅga (the mahāliṅga established by Varuṇa) in Prabhāsakṣetra.
Liṅga-pratiṣṭhā (installation) followed by devoted pūjā over a prolonged period.
