एवमुक्त्वा महाभागा सखीगणसमावृता । गत्वा प्रभासक्षेत्रं सा प्रतिष्ठाप्य महेश्वरम् । गौरीश्वरेति विख्यातं पूजयंती विधानतः
evamuktvā mahābhāgā sakhīgaṇasamāvṛtā | gatvā prabhāsakṣetraṃ sā pratiṣṭhāpya maheśvaram | gaurīśvareti vikhyātaṃ pūjayaṃtī vidhānataḥ
Setelah berkata demikian, Dewi yang amat mulia itu, dikelilingi para sahabatnya, pergi ke kṣetra suci Prabhāsa. Di sana baginda menegakkan Maheśvara (sebagai liṅga), termasyhur sebagai ‘Gaurīśvara’, lalu memuja-Nya menurut tata upacara yang benar.

Tirtha: Prabhāsakṣetra; Gaurīśvara (liṅga)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣi/audience within the māhātmya frame
Scene: Satī, encircled by sakhīs, arrives at the sandy coastal sacred field of Prabhāsa; she establishes a dark stone liṅga on a pedestal, names it Gaurīśvara, and begins formal worship with lamps, flowers, and water-offerings.
A kṣetra becomes spiritually radiant through divine स्थापना and proper worship; sacred geography is anchored by consecrated presence.
Prabhāsakṣetra is explicitly glorified as the place where Gaurī establishes and worships Gaurīśvara.
Liṅga-pratiṣṭhā (installation) and vidhivat-pūjā (worship according to scriptural procedure) are indicated.
