17. Now, the description of the māhātmya of the Apsaraseśvara liṅga: there, Indra, having seen Rambhā dancing in his assembly and her dance becoming flawed in rhythm and time, cursed Rambhā in anger; in order to remove the curse, by the word of Nārada she installed a liṅga under her own name in the Mahākāla forest, pleased Śiva through daily worship, received a boon from him, and went to heaven; the description of the māhātmya of the Apsaraseśvara liṅga.
