Skandapurana 16.92

Īśvara said: / Then one should go, O great goddess, to the supreme Aghoreśvara; / it is declared as the sixth liṅga; that face is remembered as the Bhairava [aspect].

It stands in the northwest of Tryambakeśvara at a distance of five bow-lengths, / granting all desires, sacred, destroying the defilement of the Kali age. / The mortal who worships it with devotion, in order, with snāna, worship, and other [rites], / obtains the entire fruit of giving Mount Meru [in gold].

Taking the form of Dakṣiṇāmūrti, whatever little is given there / to the god Aghoreśvara, all that becomes imperishable.

He who performs a śrāddha there to the south of Aghoreśvara, / his ancestors, having been gratified, attain satisfaction until the end of the kalpa.

What is the use of a śrāddha at the tīrtha of Gayā? What is the use of a horse sacrifice, O beloved? / Through a śrāddha there, one obtains all that fruit, and even more.

Whoever gives even a truṭi of gold during the pilgrimage, / he obtains all the fruit of a great gift in abundance.

Whoever performs the brahmakūrca according to rule on a Somāṣṭamī / in the presence of Aghoreśvara, consecrated with the Aghora mantra, / by him the great expiation of six years has been performed.

Thus has been declared briefly the glorious Aghoreśa, / a māhātmya that destroys all sins, heard as accomplishing all purposes.

Thus ends the ninety-second chapter, named 'The Description of the Māhātmya of Aghoreśvara,' in the Māhātmya of the Eleven Rudras, in the first [part], the Māhātmya of the Prabhāsakṣetra, in the seventh section, the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skandapurāṇa, a collection of eighty-one thousand verses.
