Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 76
मनसा पिबतः पुंसः शिवध्यानरसामृतम् । भूयस्तृष्णा न जायेत संसारविषयासवे
manasā pibataḥ puṃsaḥ śivadhyānarasāmṛtam | bhūyastṛṣṇā na jāyeta saṃsāraviṣayāsave
जो पुरुष मनाने शिवध्यानाचा रसामृत पितो, त्याला संसारविषयांच्या मदिरासारख्या आसवाची तृष्णा पुन्हा उत्पन्न होत नाही।
Śiva-yogin (teacher/guru speaking to the queen)
Scene: A yogin sits in meditation; from the heart-lotus rises a stream of luminous nectar labeled ‘Śiva-dhyāna-rasa’; worldly objects appear as dim wine-cups losing their allure.

None is specified; the verse teaches an inner sādhana rather than pilgrimage geography.
Śiva-dhyāna (meditation on Śiva) is prescribed as the practice that neutralizes tṛṣṇā (craving).
