aṭitvā sarvatīrthāni prabhāsaṃ naiva muṃcati | durvāsāśca mahātejā liṃgasyārādhanodyataḥ | na muṃcati kṣaṇaṃ devi tatkṣetraṃ śaśimaulinaḥ

Translation

Après avoir parcouru tous les tīrtha, il n’abandonne pas Prabhāsa. Même Durvāsā, d’un éclat immense, voué au culte du Liṅga—ô Déesse—ne quitte pas un seul instant ce saint domaine du Seigneur au croissant de lune (Śiva).

True pilgrimage culminates in steadfast devotion—remaining absorbed in Śiva’s Liṅga-worship at an exalted kṣetra like Prabhāsa.

Prabhāsa Kṣetra, praised as a supremely sacred Śaiva region associated with the Moon-crested Lord (Śiva).
