Skandapurana 16.126

Īśvara said: / Then one should proceed, O great Goddess, to the excellent Śāṇḍilyeśvara, / located sixteen bow-lengths to the west of Brahmā. (1)

That liṅga is of great power, destroying sin by its mere darśana. (2)

A brahmin-seer named Śāṇḍilya is remembered as the charioteer of Brahmā; / he was an ascetic of great splendor, steadfast in wisdom, who had conquered his senses. (3)

Having reached Prabhāsa, he performed terrible austerity, / having installed a great liṅga situated to the north of Someśa. (4)

He personally worshipped [it] for a hundred divine years, O beloved; / then, having attained what he desired, he became one who had fulfilled his purpose.

Through the grace of Nandīśvara, he was endowed with the virtues [beginning with] atom-like minuteness and the rest. / But upon seeing that [liṅga], a man instantly becomes free from sin.

Whatever sin a man commits in childhood, in old age, or in youth, / either through ignorance or knowingly, O beloved, / all of it goes to destruction from the darśana of Śāṇḍilyeśvara.

Thus, in the holy Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, in the collection of eighty-one thousand [verses], in the seventh Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the first Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya, the description of the greatness of Śāṇḍilyeśvara, being the one hundred twenty-sixth chapter. 126.
