देवशर्माभिधानस्तु विख्यातः प्रवरैस्त्रिभिः । अहं चिंतां करिष्यामि तव लिंगसमुद्भवाम्
devaśarmābhidhānastu vikhyātaḥ pravaraistribhiḥ | ahaṃ ciṃtāṃ kariṣyāmi tava liṃgasamudbhavām
હું દેવશર્મા નામે ઓળખાતો, ત્રણ પ્રવરોમાં પ્રસિદ્ધ છું; તારા માટે લિંગ-સંબંધિત વ્રતની વ્યવસ્થા અને જવાબદારી હું સંભાળીશ.
Devaśarmā (a brāhmaṇa)
Type: kshetra

When dharma is at stake, a qualified person may voluntarily assume sacred responsibility to protect the community and the worship.
The verse supports the tīrtha-mahātmya theme through liṅga-sevā, but does not specify the site name.
Undertaking ongoing liṅga-related service/maintenance (liṅga-cintā) as a formal duty.
