Chapter 21 · How Many Earthen Liṅgas to Worship for Each Different Desire · Verses 1–56

अथैकविंशोऽध्यायः

The sages ask Sūta how many earthen liṅgas should be worshipped for each desire. Sūta gives the numbers: a thousand for learning, five hundred for wealth, fifteen hundred for a son, and so on for land, kindness, pilgrimage, friends, rites to control or harm others, release from chains, and safety from a king, thieves or ḍākinīs. Ten thousand grant every wish. For daily worship, one liṅga removes sin, two bring wealth and three bring all desires. He then gives a second view, held by other sages, with larger numbers: a crore of liṅgas makes a man Śiva himself. He praises liṅga worship above all gifts, vows and sacrifices, and gives three sizes of liṅga by height. Everyone may worship the liṅga, women and people of every class, each with the mantra proper to them. The twice-born who follow the Veda should worship by the Vedic way. Sūta then lists the order of worship: the eight forms of Śambhu, his retinue, the eleven Rudras, japa of the five-syllable mantra, hymns, circling and sending off. The worshipper should face north, sitting on the south side of the liṅga. Śaṅkara should never be worshipped without the three lines of ash, a rudrākṣa rosary and bilva leaves; if there is no ash, the lines may be drawn with clay. ऋषि सूतजीसे पूछते हैं कि किस कामनाके लिये कितने पार्थिव लिंगोंकी पूजा करनी चाहिये। सूतजी संख्या बताते हैं: विद्याके लिये एक हजार, धनके लिये पाँच सौ, पुत्रके लिये डेढ़ हजार, और इसी प्रकार भूमि, दया, तीर्थ, मित्र, वशीकरण आदि कर्म, बन्धनसे छुटकारा, तथा राजा, चोर और डाकिनी आदिके भयसे रक्षाके लिये। दस हजार लिंग सभी कामनाएँ पूरी करते हैं। नित्यपूजामें एक लिंग पाप हरता है, दो धन देते हैं और तीन सब कामनाएँ देते हैं। फिर वे दूसरे मुनियोंका मत बताते हैं, जिसमें संख्याएँ बड़ी हैं: एक करोड़ लिंग पूजनेवाला स्वयं शिव हो जाता है। वे लिंगपूजाको सब दानों, व्रतों और यज्ञोंसे बढ़कर बताते हैं, और ऊँचाईके अनुसार लिंगके तीन भेद कहते हैं। लिंगपूजाका अधिकार सबको है, स्त्रियोंको और सभी वर्णोंको, अपने-अपने मन्त्रसे। वेदमार्गी द्विज वैदिक विधिसे पूजा करें। फिर सूतजी पूजाका क्रम बताते हैं: शम्भुकी आठ मूर्तियाँ, उनका परिवार, ग्यारह रुद्र, पंचाक्षर-जप, स्तुतियाँ, प्रदक्षिणा और विसर्जन। पूजक उत्तरकी ओर मुख करे और लिंगके दक्षिण भागमें बैठे। त्रिपुण्ड्र, रुद्राक्षकी माला और बिल्वपत्रके बिना शंकरकी पूजा कभी न करे; भस्म न मिले तो मिट्टीसे त्रिपुण्ड्र लगा ले।
