VYAGHRESHWAR

Once various learned Brahmins were offering intense prayers to appease as well as to invigorate various Gods. Precisely at that time, Prahlad’s maternal Uncle, known as Dundubhi Nihrad, who always wanted to conquer Devas, developed some evil designs. He thought he would destroy all the Brahmins who were performing pooja etc. at religious places, thus the devas would lose their powers and could ultimately be conquered easily. Thus he started killing the Brahmins one by one.

All the devotees nearby rushed to the site and they were glad to behold the death of the tiger. The devotees prayed to Lord Shiva and requested him to be always present in the Ling, which came to be known as Vyaghreshwar. Lord Shiva granted accordingly and stated that a devotee who worships Vyaghreshwar will find all his obstacles in life removed and he will be successful in all his ventures.

(VYAGHRESHWAR)

If a warrior devotee, after worshipping the Vyaghreshwar Ling, proceeds to battle ground, he will emerge victorious. Saying this, Lord Shiva disappeared into the Ling.

Kashi Khand, Chapter 65, Shlok 83

व्याघ्रेश्वरस्य ये भक्तास्तेभ्यो बिभ्यति किङ्करा:

यामा अपि महाक्रूरा जय जीवेतिवादिन:

Even the most cruel people of Yamraj (Yam Kinkar) are afraid of devotees of Vyaghreshwar calling them Jaijiv. In other words, such devotees will not see hell at all.
