Chapter Nineteen · The Earthen Liṅga, Supreme · Verses 1–37

अथैकोनविंशोऽध्यायः

The sages ask Sūta to relate what Vyāsa declared of the greatness of the earthen liṅga above all others. Sūta declares it supreme through a run of similes — as Maheśvara is supreme among gods, the Gaṅgā among rivers, the praṇava among mantras, the brahmin among varṇas, Kāśī among cities, Śivarātri among vows — and promises its worshippers wealth here and Rudra's world hereafter, its very sight and touch the destroyer of sin. He warns that neglecting it sends a brahmin to a dreadful hell, then gives the rule of construction: no five-thread division for the earthen liṅga, and, more generally, that a movable liṅga must be carved whole while a fixed liṅga is rightly made in two parts, liṅga and pedestal — reversing the two brings no fruit, or even harm. ऋषिगण सूत से व्यासजी द्वारा वर्णित पार्थिव लिंग की सर्वोत्कृष्ट महिमा पूछते हैं। सूत उपमाओं की एक शृंखला से उसे श्रेष्ठ सिद्ध करते हैं — जैसे देवताओं में महेश्वर, नदियों में गंगा, मन्त्रों में प्रणव, वर्णों में ब्राह्मण, पुरियों में काशी, व्रतों में शिवरात्रि श्रेष्ठ है — और उसके पूजकों को इहलोक में धन-सम्पत्ति तथा परलोक में रुद्रलोक का, तथा उसके दर्शन-स्पर्श मात्र से पापनाश का वचन देते हैं। वे चेतावनी देते हैं कि इसकी उपेक्षा करने वाला ब्राह्मण घोर नरक में जाता है, फिर निर्माण-विधि बताते हैं — पार्थिव लिंग में पंचसूत्र-विभाजन नहीं करना चाहिए, तथा सामान्यतः चरलिंग को अखण्ड और स्थावर लिंग को लिंग-वेदी सहित द्विखण्ड ही बनाना चाहिए — इसे उलटने पर फल नहीं, अपितु हानि होती है।

अज्ञान से मोहित लोग ही चरलिंग को द्विखण्ड बनाते हैं; सिद्धान्त के ज्ञाता, शास्त्रकोविद मुनि ऐसा कदापि नहीं करते।

It is those deluded by ignorance who make the movable liṅga in two parts; sages who know the Siddhānta, learned in the scriptures, never do so.
