हेम पन्त:
Mujhe bhi ek baar Jageshwar jaane ka saubhagy praapt huwa hai...
Shaant aur Pavitr sthan par sthit is Mandir-samooh ka bahut adhik pauranik mahatv hai... Is Mandir-samooh ko "Archeological Survey of India" dwara sanrakshit kiya gaya hai.
Mujhe kahin padhne ko mila tha ki Cheeni Yatri Hwen-saang ne bhi apne Yatra-Varnan mein is sthan ka ullekh kiya hai.
