Chapter 217 - Glory of Devarājeśvara(Devarāja-īśvara)
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-2. The deity named Devarājeśvara is stationed in the shrine within a distance of sixteen Dhanus, not very far indeed to the west of Gautameśvara. He installed the Liṅga and thereby was relieved of the sins.
A man who worships the deity with concentrated mind, shall become relieved from the sin arising from human weaknesses.
