Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 30
यज्ञोऽसि यज्ञरूपोऽसि यज्ञांगोऽसि रमापते । ततोऽद्य कृपया विष्णो देवानां वरदो भव
yajño'si yajñarūpo'si yajñāṃgo'si ramāpate | tato'dya kṛpayā viṣṇo devānāṃ varado bhava

The verse is theological (yajña-centered) rather than site-descriptive; the broader setting is Kedārakhaṇḍa’s Kedāra sacred landscape.
No specific rite is instructed; the verse frames yajña as a divine principle and offers a prayer for grace.
