24. A brahmin, dying in Māyāpurī, attains various kinds of enjoyment in the world of Viṣṇu for a year of Brahmā; then, upon the exhaustion of his merit, he becomes a king in the village of Nandivardhana and pleases his subjects; experiencing joy upon hearing the Kāśīmāhātmya, he departs for Kāśī; by the grace of Viśveśvara he builds a temple to Śiva there; description of the future condition of the brahmin Śivaśarman, as declared by the attendants of Viṣṇu, [namely] that after an examination by Śiva, who had come to test him as he performed tapas before the installed Śivaliṅga named Vṛddhakāleśvara, the king along with his wife would merge into that very liṅga together with him. 101 1
