Śaṅkara (Śiva)FAQs
Divine grace (prasāda) is central: purification is ultimately completed by Śiva’s compassion, not effort alone.
The request is embedded in Prabhāsa-kṣetra’s māhātmya, where Śiva’s prasāda is especially efficacious.
No explicit ritual is described; the verse is a prayer for prasāda-based cleansing of pātaka.
