vācā kṛtaṃ ca yatpāpaṃ manasā karmaṇā'tha vā | tatsarvaṃ naśyate devi tasya liṃgasya darśanāt
凡以言语、以心念、或以行为所造之罪——噢,女神(Devī)——仅仅瞻见彼林伽,一切皆得消灭。
Unspecified in this snippet (context: Īśvara/Śiva addressing Devī)
Tirtha: Gautameśvara (Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: temple
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A devotee stands before the liṅga in silent awe; the moment of ‘darśana’ is emphasized—eyes meeting the sacred form—while a subtle radiance suggests sins dissolving from speech, mind, and action.
Darśana (sacred seeing) of the holy Liṅga is portrayed as a powerful purifier of sins at every level—speech, mind, and action.
The Liṅga associated with Prabhāsa Kṣetra’s māhātmya narrative (Gautameśvara context in Adhyāya 80).
No complex rite is required here—simple darśana of the Liṅga is stated to destroy sins.
