Hoary scriptures, particularly works dealing with Saivism embody a
great corpus of literature shedding much light on the divinity of
this thirtlia kshetra. Chronicles like Kalhana's Raja-Tarangani and
Abdul Faz's Aini-i-Akbari, philosophical works like Iltpala's Isvara
Prathyabhijna, Sivasutras, Paratrinshika, Tantrasara, Tantraloka,
Madhava's Sarvadarsana Sangraha, Bhatta's Kusumanjali and Nilantata-Purana
and Harvijaya bear ample testimony to the sacredness of this holy
shrine and illustrate the lives of those who were blessed by
Maheswar.
