The lord said: Formerly, an Asura who was a thorn to Devas assumed the form of a jackal. The jackal was not capable of being caught by others as he had acquired boons from Brahmā. O daughter of Himavān, he was killed by me here and so I am called Jambukeśa even today. I am known as such bowed to by Devas and Asuras. By visiting this lord of Devas one shall attain all cherished desires. These Liṅgas have been installed by the planets beginning with Śukra. See these sacred Liṅgas that bestow all cherished desires. Thus, O Pārvatī, these sacred Liṅgas wherein I reside have been recounted. Listen to another esoteric secret of mine in this holy centre. This is glorified as extending to four Krośas in every direction.
