Skandapurana 16.125

Īśvara said: / Then one should go, O great Goddess, to the great liṅga dear to the gods, / located at a distance of thirty bow-lengths to the north-west of Rāvaṇeśvara. (1)

It is a wish-fulfilling liṅga that destroys all sins, / celebrated by the name Paulomīśvara, duly installed by Paulomī. (2)

When the gods assembled in battle were destroyed by Tāraka, / and the three worlds were all seized, he himself assumed the rank of Indra. (3)

Then Śakra, tormented by deep grief and agitated with fear, indeed disappeared. / Then, O Goddess, by his wife Indrāṇī, wasted by sorrow, (4)

Śambhu was propitiated by her as she desired Indra's victory. / Then, pleased, the Great God spoke to that auspicious-eyed lady: (5)

The Blessed Lord said: / A mighty son of ours with six faces will be born, / and he will slay this Tāraka, the king of the daityas. (6)

Go, freed from feverish anxiety, and hear further my word: (7)

Whoever among our people worships this liṅga situated here / will surely become my attendant and approach my presence. (8)

Thus addressed, the virtuous woman went to where the king of gods resided, / completely freed from all sorrow and rid of all fear of the daityas. (9)

Thus ends the one hundred and twenty-fifth chapter, entitled "Description of the Māhātmya of Paulomīśvara," in the first [part], the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, of the seventh section, the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skandapurāṇa, a compendium of eighty-one thousand verses. (125)
