Chapter 180 - Greatness of Puṣpadanteśvara (Puṣpadanta-īśvara)
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-3. A devotee should visit the splendid shrine of Puṣpadanteśvara situated there itself. There was a Gaṇa of Śaṅkara named Puṣpadanteśvara. A severe penance was performed by him and the Liṅga was installed there. On visiting the deity, one becomes relieved from the bondage of worldly existence and birth. He shall attain all desired objects in this world and hereafter also.
