Tendo adorado conforme o rito—com o eu disciplinado e os sentidos refreados—deve-se recitar o sahasranāma, os mil nomes que destroem todos os pecados.
Narratorial instruction within the Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya (context: Śiva’s teaching continues in this passage)
Purity of conduct—discipline and sense-control—empowers mantra-recitation to become a force of inner cleansing.
Prabhāsakṣetra, where regulated worship and recitation are praised as especially meritorious.
Perform pūjā according to vidhāna, maintain self-control, and recite the nāma-sahasra for removal of sins.
