तेन दत्तेन खड्गेन शंखेन रिपुघातिना । जिगाय समरे शत्रूञ्छिववर्माभिरक्षितः
tena dattena khaḍgena śaṃkhena ripughātinā | jigāya samare śatrūñchivavarmābhirakṣitaḥ
Shielded by Śiva’s armor, he conquered the foes in battle with the sword and the sacred conch bestowed by that yogin—weapons that strike down enemies.

No location is praised here; the emphasis is on Śiva’s protective power (varma) in the narrative.
None explicitly; it describes bestowed weapons and Śiva’s protection, not a rite.
