神々の主よ、あなた自ら顕れたリンガが、マヌヴァンタラの間の時を越えてここにとどまりますように。「カパーレーシュヴァラ」の御名のもと、この地に常住の御座をお定めください。
Brāhmaṇas/Ṛṣis
Tirtha: Kapāleśvara (liṅga) at Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/assembly (implied)
Scene: A self-manifest liṅga rises from the earth at Prabhāsa; devotees and sages request Mahādeva to remain through manvantara-intervals; the liṅga is named Kapāleśvara, with ocean-breeze and coastal light.
Sacred geography is made enduring by the deity’s established presence, offering an ever-available refuge across ages.
Kapāleśvara-sthāna in Prabhāsakṣetra, featuring a self-manifest liṅga.
The request is for permanent installation/abidance (sthiti) of the liṅga; it implies ongoing worship at the site.
