Sūta said:: Rudra’s world on the earth; Hāṭakeśvara in the nether worlds; the nature of austerities; the power of brahmins; Liṅga’s excellence over all other images of deities—all these are recorded in their proper order and in detail[2] in this Purāṇa. He who after knowing the gist recites it, is liberated from sins. He goes to the world of Brahmā.
