The Glory of Devarajeshvara

Verse 1 (skanda.7.217.1)

ईश्वर उवाच। गौतमेश्वरतो देवि पश्चिमे नातिदूरतः। धनुःषोडशभिर्देवि देवराजेश्वरः स्थितः

īśvara uvāca| gautameśvarato devi paścime nātidūrataḥ| dhanuḥṣoḍaśabhirdevi devarājeśvaraḥ sthitaḥ

Ishvara said: O Goddess, not far to the west of Gautameshvara, sixteen bow-lengths away, stands Devarajeshvara.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.217.2)

लिंगं स स्थापयामास ततः पापैर्व्यमुच्यत। यस्तं समाहितमनाः पूजयिष्यति मानवः। स च मानवसंभूतात्पातकात्संप्रमोक्ष्यति

liṅgaṁ sa sthāpayāmāsa tataḥ pāpairvyamucyata| yastaṁ samāhitamanāḥ pūjayiṣyati mānavaḥ| sa ca mānavasaṁbhūtātpātakātsaṁpramokṣyati

Devaraja (Indra) established the linga there, and was thereby freed from his sins. Whatever man worships him with a focused mind shall be released from the sin arising from human birth.
