यदाहं पुनरेवेह पीतवर्णो युगक्रमात् मत्कृतेन च नाम्ना वै पीतकल्पो ऽभवत्तदा
yadāhaṃ punareveha pītavarṇo yugakramāt matkṛtena ca nāmnā vai pītakalpo 'bhavattadā
Apabila menurut turutan yuga Aku menzahirkan diri lagi di sini dalam rupa berwarna kuning, maka kitaran penciptaan (kalpa) itu dikenali dengan nama yang Aku tetapkan: “Pīta-kalpa”.

FAQs
It situates Linga-centered tradition within recurring cosmic cycles (kalpas), implying that devotion to Pati (Shiva) and the sacred order persists across repeated manifestations of creation.
By referencing kalpa and yuga succession, it indirectly contrasts the changing cosmic administration (by Brahma) with Shiva-tattva as Pati—the transcendent ground who is not confined to any single kalpa, even as worship and revelation recur within time.
No specific puja-vidhi is stated; the takeaway is the kalpa-yuga framework used in the Linga Purana to time revelations of Shaiva dharma, within which Pashupata Yoga and Linga-puja are taught in appropriate eras.
