The seeker embraces pilgrimage and effort—moving through sacred places to attain Śiva’s darśana and grace.

Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the overarching holy region; the verse explicitly points toward a network of sacred locations connected to Maheśvara.

Pilgrimage (carīṣyāmi—journeying) is implied as the practice, undertaken to obtain darśana and perform worship.
