Skanda Purana — Kashi Khanda, Shloka 69
विभूतिभूषणो नित्यं नित्यरुद्राक्षभूषणः । रुद्रसूक्तपरो नित्यं नित्यं लिंगार्चकोभवत्
vibhūtibhūṣaṇo nityaṃ nityarudrākṣabhūṣaṇaḥ | rudrasūktaparo nityaṃ nityaṃ liṃgārcakobhavat
तो नित्य विभूतीचे भूषण धारी, नित्य रुद्राक्षांनी अलंकृत असे। रुद्रसूक्तांत सदैव तल्लीन होऊन तो नित्य लिंगार्चन करणारा झाला।

Regular Rudra-sūkta recitation and nitya-liṅga-arcana (daily worship of the Śiva-liṅga).
