Chapter 318 - Greatness of Brahmeśvara (Brahma-īśvara)
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-2. There is a Liṅga of great efficacy situated not far from there (i.e. Goddess Kaṇṭakaśoṣaṇī) in the eastern direction. It is destructive of all sins.
Its name is Brahmeśvara and it was installed by Brāhmaṇas. If any one takes his holy bath in the waters of Ṛṣitoyā and worships the Liṅga he shall become a Brāhmaṇa fully conversant with the Vedas and devoid of dullness.
