Having joyfully received his son back from the guru, the Lord approached the Lord of Creatures with a heart full of gladness. In the sacred land of Avanti, at the place known as Ankapāda, it is said that the departed do not encounter Yama, the god of death. There, in the city of Mahākāla, resides the primeval god, the supreme person. Those who are blessed to behold the fivefold form at Kuśasthalī are especially fortunate, and from the time of this divine arrival, no harm has come to Rāma. When these words were spoken, the Creator, deeply pleased, turned to Hari and addressed him. He proclaimed that those who recognize Hari as the original person, the foremost of men, and those who behold the blazing Mahākāla below, receive the merit equal to performing the great Aśvamedha sacrifice. After honoring both the Creator and Time itself, Hari ascended his chariot. For those who honor this place and its Lord, there is assurance—they shall not suffer untimely death, nor fall prey to disease or misfortune. When worship is performed with fragrant flowers, incense, and various offerings of food, the results are most auspicious. Upon returning to this world again, such a devotee is born into a pure and noble family. There is a deity, known as Candrāditya, once worshipped by the Moon and the Sun themselves. Whoever worships this god, revered by both gods and demons, attains the same celestial realm as the Moon and Sun, and all their desires are fulfilled. Even by merely seeing this deity, one is never born into a wicked womb. Now, you may wonder how the god known as Karabheśa came to be. In a delightful forest, Śaṅkara, filled with supreme joy, played for a long time and, in his play, assumed the form of a young elephant. The gods, amazed and bewildered, began searching for him. Brahmā, questioned by the gods about the whereabouts of the great Maheśvara, joined them and together they approached the leader of the Gaṇas, humbly bowing and promising sweet balls in exchange for knowledge. The leader revealed, "This young elephant is the great god, as recognized by the wisest among us. We ourselves have realized it, for the god speaks to us." Śaṅkara, marveling at how his true identity had been discovered, was filled with wonder. There, he manifested a divine liṅga, which became known as Karabheśvara. From that time forward, Śaṅkara was renowned as Karabheśvara, and he established the elephant form, which became highly revered by all. Those who worship Karabheśvara with fragrant flowers and offerings of food attain even greater blessings—there is no doubt in this. Thus, Karabheśvara became celebrated in the world as a bestower of prosperity. Sanatkumāra continued: After this, Vighnanātha, the remover of obstacles, was worshipped by the gods with sweet balls. Whoever worships him with devotion will never face obstacles in life. Especially on the fourth day, after bathing in the sacred Śiprā river, and offering water mixed with red sandalwood while reciting mantras, one should present divine incense, fragrant and pleasing to the lover of sweet balls. For such a devotee, disease, fear, or obstacles never arise at any time. When they return to the world, they are born as rulers of the earth. Those who worship with faith rejoice forever in the realm of Śiva.
