Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 52
कपाली चैव देवेशः करवीरं तथा पुनः । ओंकारं परमं पुण्यं वशिष्ठाश्रममेव च । यत्र कोटिः स्मृता देवि रुद्राणां कामरूपिणाम्
kapālī caiva deveśaḥ karavīraṃ tathā punaḥ | oṃkāraṃ paramaṃ puṇyaṃ vaśiṣṭhāśramameva ca | yatra koṭiḥ smṛtā devi rudrāṇāṃ kāmarūpiṇām
S’y trouvent Kapālī et aussi Deveśa; de même Karavīra encore; Oṃkāra, d’une sainteté suprême; et l’āśrama de Vaśiṣṭha également—là, ô Devī, l’on se souvient qu’un koṭi (un crore) de Rudra, capables de prendre forme à volonté, demeure.

FAQs
Prabhāsa is not merely a place but a living Śaiva cosmos—inhabited in memory and presence by innumerable Rudra-powers.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, especially the sites named Kapālī, Deveśa, Karavīra, Oṃkāra, and Vaśiṣṭhāśrama.
No explicit rite; the verse implicitly commends tīrtha-darśana and smaraṇa (recollection) of the Rudras’ presence.
