जलमध्यगतं यच्च सेतुखंडं द्वितीयकम् । तत्र रामेश्वरो यश्च मध्याह्ने तं प्रपूजयेत्
jalamadhyagataṃ yacca setukhaṃḍaṃ dvitīyakam | tatra rāmeśvaro yaśca madhyāhne taṃ prapūjayet
Et le second sanctuaire du Setu, situé au milieu des eaux : là demeure Rāmeśvara ; c’est à Lui qu’il faut rendre un culte à midi, avec une révérence particulière.

Sacred places prescribe sacred timings; honoring them aligns devotion with cosmic order (kāla-dharma).
A ‘second’ Setu-khaṇḍa shrine described as being amid waters, within the Setubandha/Rāmeśvara tīrtha landscape.
Madhyāhna-pūjā—worship at midday, specifically directed to the Rāmeśvara at the water-situated shrine.
