Ó Senhor dos deuses, que o teu liṅga auto-manifesto permaneça aqui através dos intervalos dos Manvantaras. Sob o nome de «Kapāleśvara», estabelece neste lugar a tua presença perene.
Brāhmaṇas/Ṛṣis
Tirtha: Kapāleśvara (liṅga) at Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/assembly (implied)
Scene: A self-manifest liṅga rises from the earth at Prabhāsa; devotees and sages request Mahādeva to remain through manvantara-intervals; the liṅga is named Kapāleśvara, with ocean-breeze and coastal light.
Sacred geography is made enduring by the deity’s established presence, offering an ever-available refuge across ages.

The request is for permanent installation/abidance (sthiti) of the liṅga; it implies ongoing worship at the site.
