Type: kshetra
Scene: A siddha arrives at a sacred kṣetra and, filled with faith, performs liṅga worship himself according to the prescribed rite; the focus is on ritual precision and inward devotion.
Merit arises when devotion (śraddhā) is joined to correct practice (yathokta-vidhi) in a holy place.
The ‘that kṣetra’ refers to Camatkārapura, the destination previously prescribed by Bṛhaspati.
Liṅga-pūjā performed personally, following the stated/authorized ritual procedure.
