16.76.1
Īśvara said: / Near that very god of gods there shines / a pair of highly sacred liṅgas established by Lakulīśa.
16.76.2
Indeed, the name of that pair of liṅgas is Lakulīśvara. / Seeing that unexcelled pair of liṅgas of the god of gods,
16.76.3
one is freed from all sin from birth to the end of life. / There, on the bright fourteenth day of the month of Bhādrapada, O beloved,
16.76.4
whoever devotes himself to fasting and keeps a vigil, / having worshipped the illustrious Lakulīśa in embodied form,
16.76.5
and then having duly worshipped the pair of liṅgas separately there / according to the proper ritual rules, with hymns of praise and mantras in order, / goes to the supreme abode where God Maheśvara resides.
16.76.76
