6. Now, the description of the glory of the Svarṇajāleśvara liṅga; therein, Agni, having consumed the semen of Śaṃkara while he sportingly dallied with Pārvatī, tossing about in the Gaṅgā to quench its burning heat; then, at the appearance of Agni's firstborn child named Kāñcana, a debate arising everywhere; seeing that calamity, Agni surrendering the son Kāñcana to Śaṃkara; by Śaṃkara's command, Kāñcana going to the Mahākāla forest; Kāñcana performing austerity and, at Īśvara's word, installing a liṅga in his own name; the description of the glory of the Svarṇajāleśvara liṅga. 84 1
