एतत्स्मृतं प्रियतमं मम देवि नित्यं क्षेत्रं पवित्रमृषिसिद्धगणाभिरम्यम् । अस्मिन्मृताः सकलजीवमृतोऽपि देवि स्वर्गात्परं समुपयांति न संशयोऽत्र

Transliteration

etatsmṛtaṃ priyatamaṃ mama devi nityaṃ kṣetraṃ pavitramṛṣisiddhagaṇābhiramyam | asminmṛtāḥ sakalajīvamṛto'pi devi svargātparaṃ samupayāṃti na saṃśayo'tra

Translation

Wahai Devī, wilayah suci ini—bila dikenang—adalah dhāma yang paling kukasihi, abadi, murni, dan elok oleh rombongan ṛṣi serta siddha. Wahai Devī, mereka yang wafat di sini—meski maut menimpa semua makhluk—mencapai keadaan melampaui surga; tiada keraguan di sini.

The kṣetra is portrayed as a liberating sacred geography: remembrance and final departure there lead beyond ordinary heavenly merit.

Prabhāsa Kṣetra, celebrated as Śiva’s most beloved eternal holy region.

Not a detailed rite, but two practices are implied: smaraṇa (remembering the kṣetra) and the exceptional merit associated with dying in the kṣetra.
