«مَن يعبد هذا (اللِّينغا) في اليوم القمري الثالث من النصف المظلم من شهر بهادرابادا، ينل بلا ريب ثوابًا يعادل ألفَ قربانٍ من أشفاميدها.»
Śiva (Rudra)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Pṛthivīśa-liṅga context)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee worships a radiant Śiva-liṅga in Prabhāsa on Bhādrapada kṛṣṇa tṛtīyā; priests hold lamps, conch sounds, and offerings of bilva and water; the sea-breeze and temple flags frame the sanctum.
Time, place, and devotion converge: worship performed at an auspicious tithi in a great kṣetra multiplies spiritual merit.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, specifically the Dharitrī-liṅga that grants extraordinary merit when worshiped on the stated date.
Pūjā (worship) of the liṅga on Bhādrapada kṛṣṇa-tṛtīyā, promised to yield the fruit of a thousand Aśvamedhas.
