Chapter 323 - Greatness of Kṣemeśvara (Kṣema-īśvara)
[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-3. Thereafter, O great goddess, a devotee should view the deity well-known as Kṣemeśvara. It is stationed to the south thereof (i.e. of Durgāditya), on the banks of Ṛṣitoyā. Formerly, the name of this deity was glorified as Bhūtīśvara. O goddess, in Kali Age it is glorified as Kṣemeśa. By viewing that deity and by worshipping it, one will get rid of all sins.
