Sūta said: He who on hearing about the lord approves of it and rejoices therein attains the greatest goal. He who, for even once, offers a ghee lamp in front of the Liṅga attains that goal which is difficult of access by means of the stages in life and which is steady. By offering a tree of lamps either made of clay or of wood in the temple of Śiva one is honoured in the world of Siva along with hundred members of his family. He who duly and devoutly offers lamps to Śiva made of iron, copper, silver or gold shall go to the city of Śiva in splendid vehicles refulgent like ten thousand suns.
