Kapardīśvaraliṅga (कपर्दीश्वरलिङ्ग) or simply Kapardīśvara the name of a Tīrtha (holy places) situated at Vārāṇasī, according to the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Vārāṇasī has remained a place dear to Śiva. It is supposed to be a place of mokṣa for all living creatures. There are many sacred places and innumerable liṅgas which are even unknown to Brahmā, so says the Saurapurāṇa. [...] The Purāṇas mention Piśācamocana-tīrtha to be at Kāśī. [...] The Saurapurāṇa states Piśācamocana to be a unique tīrtha where Kapardīśvaraliṅga is established. It is stated to be the ladder to Rudraloka. Those who visit Kapardīśa become Rudras in human body.
