Skandapurana 16.95

The Lord said: / Then one should go, O woman of beautiful hips, to the liṅga Mṛtyuñjayeśvara, / situated in the fire direction (southeast) of that very [shrine], at a distance of ten bows.

It stands four bows to the west of Sāgarāditya; / it destroys sins for all creatures merely by darśana and by touch.

In a previous age, it was celebrated by the name Nandīśvara, / where fierce austerity was performed by my attendant named Nandin.

Having installed the great liṅga and having remained constantly devoted to worship, / he recited there the renowned great mantra 'Mṛtyuñjaya'.

He recited a million crores, O goddess; then Maheśvara, being pleased, / granted him the status of the chief of attendants, and likewise liberation that consists in proximity [to God].

Since Hara was pleased with him through the Mṛtyuñjaya mantra, / the liṅga is therefore celebrated on the surface of the earth as Mṛtyuñjayeśa.

Whoever worships it with devotion or beholds it with a purified self, / it destroys his sins even though accumulated over seven births.

One should bathe the liṅga with milk, curds mixed with clarified butter, / honey, and sugarcane juice, and anoint it with saffron.

Then one should worship it with fragrant sandalwood / mixed with camphor, uśīra root, and musk fluid, and with flowers.

O goddess, one should offer incense before the god, and then agallochum, / worshipping [him] with various garments according to one's wealth.

Having offered the food oblation consisting of supreme rice cooked with milk, along with a lamp, / a prostration with eight limbs should then be performed with devotion.

A gift of gold should be given to a brahmin who has mastered the Vedas.

Thus his pilgrimage will be one declared in scripture; of this there is no doubt. / Having done so, O goddess, a man obtains the fruit of his life.

Thus the great majesty of Mṛtyuñjaya has been related in brief; / it destroys the sins of all living beings and grants the fruit of all desires.

Thus ends the ninety-fifth chapter, entitled 'Description of the Glory of Mṛtyuñjaya', in the Praise of the Eleven Rudras, in the first [part], the 'Glory of Prabhāsakṣetra', of the seventh [section], the Prabhāsakhaṇḍa, in the glorious Skanda Mahāpurāṇa, a compendium of eighty-one thousand verses.
