The Glory of the Three Lingas: Patala-Gangeshvara, Vishvamitreshvara and Baleshvara

Verse 1 (skanda.7.289.1)

ईश्वर उवाच। तस्यैव दक्षिणे देवि तस्माद्गव्यूतिमात्रतः। पातालगामिनी गंगा संस्थिता पापनाशिनी

īśvara uvāca| tasyaiva dakṣiṇe devi tasmādgavyūtimātrataḥ| pātālagāminī gaṁgā saṁsthitā pāpanāśinī

Ishvara said: To the south of that very place, O Goddess, a single gavyuti from there, the sin-destroying Ganga, flowing down to Patala, is established.

Verse 2 (skanda.7.289.2)

विश्वामित्रेण चाहूता स्नानार्थं वरवर्णिनि। तत्र स्नात्वा महादेवि मुच्यते सर्वपातकैः

viśvāmitreṇa cāhūtā snānārthaṁ varavarṇini| tatra snātvā mahādevi mucyate sarvapātakaiḥ

She was summoned by Vishvamitra for the sake of bathing, O fair one. Bathing there, O great Goddess, one is freed from all sins.

Verse 3 (skanda.7.289.3)

तत्र गंगेश्वरं दृष्ट्वा विश्वामित्रेश्वरं तथा। बालेश्वरं च संप्रेक्ष्य सर्वान्कामानवाप्नुयात्

tatra gaṁgeśvaraṁ dṛṣṭvā viśvāmitreśvaraṁ tathā| bāleśvaraṁ ca saṁprekṣya sarvānkāmānavāpnuyāt

Beholding Gangeshvara there, and likewise Vishvamitreshvara, and gazing upon Baleshvara too, one obtains all desires.
