[Sanskrit text for this chapter is available]
Īśvara said:
1-2. O great goddess, then one should go to the famous Kālamegha. Thence to the eastern part is the protector of the Kṣetra in the form of a Liṅga. He is to be adorned by offering Bali on the eighth or fourteenth lunar day. In Kali age, he is the wish-yielding tree who completely grants the objects desired (by a worshipper).
