The Glory of Rudreshvara

Verse 1 (skanda.7.188.1)

ईश्वर उवाच। ततो गच्छेन्महादेवि तत्र स्थाने तु संस्थितम्। रुद्रेश्वरेति नामानं स्वयंभूतं धरातले

īśvara uvāca| tato gacchenmahādevi tatra sthāne tu saṁsthitam| rudreśvareti nāmānaṁ svayaṁbhūtaṁ dharātale

Ishvara said: Then, O great Goddess, one should go to that place where stands, self-manifested upon the earth, the linga named Rudreshvara.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.188.2)

आदिप्रभासात्पुरतो धनुषां त्रितये स्थितम्। रुद्रेण ध्यानमास्थाय स्वं तेजस्तत्र योजितम्

ādiprabhāsātpurato dhanuṣāṁ tritaye sthitam| rudreṇa dhyānamāsthāya svaṁ tejastatra yojitam

It stands three bow-lengths ahead of Adi-Prabhasa; there Rudra, entering into meditation, infused his own radiance.

Verse 3 (skanda.7.188.3)

ततो रुद्रेश्वरं नाम सर्वपातकनाशनम्। तं दृष्ट्वा पूजयित्वा च सर्वान्कामानवाप्नुयात्

tato rudreśvaraṁ nāma sarvapātakanāśanam| taṁ dṛṣṭvā pūjayitvā ca sarvānkāmānavāpnuyāt

Thence it became known by the name Rudreshvara, destroyer of all sins; by beholding and worshipping it, one obtains all desires.
