Translation: 

 

After the King’s son Sudaksina had performed the obligatory funeral rituals for his father, he resolved within his mind: “Only by killing my father’s murderer can I avenge his death.” Thus the charitable Sudaksina, together with his priests, began worshiping Lord Mahesvara with great attention.

 

Purport: 

 

Srila Prabhupada writes: “The lord of the kingdom of Kasi is Visvanatha (Lord Siva). The temple of Lord Visvanatha is still existing in Varanasi, and many thousands of pilgrims still gather daily in that temple.”
