The Glory of Amareshvara

Verse 1 (skanda.7.194.1)

ईश्वर उवाच। ततो गच्छेन्महादेवि लिंगं देवैः प्रतिष्ठितम्। ज्ञात्वा प्रभावं क्षेत्रस्य सर्वपातकनाशनम्

īśvara uvāca| tato gacchenmahādevi liṅgaṁ devaiḥ pratiṣṭhitam| jñātvā prabhāvaṁ kṣetrasya sarvapātakanāśanam

Ishvara said: Then, O great Goddess, one should go to that linga established by the gods, who, having learned the power of this sacred field, set it up as the destroyer of all sins.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.194.2)

तत्र कृत्वा तपश्चोग्रं लिंगं देवैः प्रतिष्ठितम्। तं दृष्ट्वा मानवो देवि कृतकृत्यः प्रजायते

tatra kṛtvā tapaścograṁ liṅgaṁ devaiḥ pratiṣṭhitam| taṁ dṛṣṭvā mānavo devi kṛtakṛtyaḥ prajāyate

Having performed fierce austerity there, the gods established that linga; O Goddess, by beholding it a man becomes one whose purpose is fulfilled.

Verse 3 (skanda.7.194.3)

गोदानं तत्र देयं तु ब्राह्मणे वेदपारगे। सम्यक्च लभते देवि यात्रायाः फलमूर्जितम्

godānaṁ tatra deyaṁ tu brāhmaṇe vedapārage| samyakca labhate devi yātrāyāḥ phalamūrjitam

There one should give the gift of a cow to a Brahmin well-versed in the Vedas; O Goddess, by doing so one duly obtains the full and potent fruit of the pilgrimage.
