23. Now, the description of the māhātmya of the Meghanādeśvara liṅga: there, because a king named Madāndha through wickedness did not perform sacrificial rites, there was an absence of rain on the earth, and the gods went to the world of Brahmā; then, by Brahmā's command, the gods went to the Mahākāla forest; there the gods praised the liṅga installed by a cloud; the description of the obtaining of rain through the worship of that liṅga; therefore that liṅga installed by a cloud was named Meghanādeśvara; the description of the māhātmya of the Meghanādeśvara liṅga.
