Bhagavan
Sri Balamukunda said “ Oh! Vipra, build a shrine to worship Linga who is the
cause of the Universe, he is the supreme deity; it would be equivalent as
installation of idol of mine. Lord Rudra
is Lord Vishnu and Lord Vishnu is Lord Maheshwara, and there is no differentiation in this perception which is same as the principles of Sky and
Air. The ignorant people are not aware
of the glories of Garudadhvaja and Vribhadhvaja as Thrilochana and Thripuragna respectively. Therefore, Oh! Vipra, construct a Shiva
shrine along with a pond named after Markandeya on the north of the shrine,
whoever takes sacred bath in this pond would get relieved from all the sins.”
