Notes
Īshvara ##Ishvara## speaks to Himāvan ##himAvan## about his preceding experience of Kailāsadarshana ##kailAsadarshana##, and continues further to describe the various Śivaliṇga-Kṣetra-s ##shivali~NgakShetra## in the region. Īshvara ##Ishvara## then outlines the several merits that alone do not earn such a visit, and that these are outweighed by Devotion towards Him.
