In Hinduism
Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studyPiśācamocanatīrtha (पिशाचमोचनतीर्थ) or simply Piśācamocana is the name of a Tīrtha (holy places) situated at Vārāṇasī, according to the Skandapurāṇa (IV.54.12-74).—According to the 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 Piśācamocanatīrtha to be at Kāśī.
The Saurapurāṇa states Piśācamocanatīrtha to be a unique tīrtha where Kapardīśvara-liṅga is established. It is stated to be the ladder to Rudraloka. Those who visit Kapardīśa become Rudras in human body.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
