The second incarnation of Śaṃkara is the one named Mallikārjuna, on Śrīgiri, my son, granting the fruits desired by devotees. Being earnestly entreated there by the gods, he stayed in a twofold form, in the form of a liṅga granting enjoyment and liberation, O you who are dear to the Śaktas. But the incarnation as Viśveśvara, arisen in Kāśī, is the seventh, having the form of the whole universe and granting enjoyment and liberation, O sage. He became renowned in the three worlds under the name Vaidyanātheśvara; from seeing and from worshipping (him) with devotion he grants enjoyment and liberation. And the man who shall bathe him with Gaṅgā water, and (worships) Rāmeśvara with true devotion, is liberated while living. Whoever recites this constantly, or hears it with concentrated mind, obtains all his desires and thereafter surely attains liberation.
