ईश्वर उवाच। ततो गच्छेन्महादेवि विश्वकर्मप्रतिष्ठितम्। लिंगं महाप्रभावं हि मोक्षस्वामिन उत्तरे

īśvara uvāca| tato gacchenmahādevi viśvakarmapratiṣṭhitam| liṅgaṁ mahāprabhāvaṁ hi mokṣasvāmina uttare

Ishvara said: Then, O great Goddess, one should go to that linga of great power, established by Vishvakarma, situated to the north of Mokshasvami.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.192.2)

धनुषां पंचके देवि स्थितं पातकनाशनम्

dhanuṣāṁ paṁcake devi sthitaṁ pātakanāśanam

O Goddess, it stands at a distance of five bow-lengths, and is the destroyer of sins.

Verse 3 (skanda.7.192.3)

तं दृष्ट्वा मानवः सम्यग्यात्राफलमवाप्नुयात्। वाचिकं मानसं पापं दर्शनात्तस्य नश्यति

taṁ dṛṣṭvā mānavaḥ samyagyātrāphalamavāpnuyāt| vācikaṁ mānasaṁ pāpaṁ darśanāttasya naśyati

By beholding it, a man obtains the complete fruit of pilgrimage; by the mere sight of it, sins of speech and mind are destroyed.
