स लिंगं पूजयामास त्रिकालं भक्तिभावितः । एकाहारो जिताहारो भूभिशायी जितेंद्रियः
sa liṃgaṃ pūjayāmāsa trikālaṃ bhaktibhāvitaḥ | ekāhāro jitāhāro bhūbhiśāyī jiteṃdriyaḥ
பக்தியால் நிறைந்தவனாய் அவன் தினமும் மூன்று காலங்களிலும் லிங்கத்தை வழிபட்டான். அவன் ஒருவேளை உண்பவன், உணவைக் கட்டுப்படுத்துபவன், தரையில் உறங்குபவன், புலன்களை வென்றவன்.

Tirtha: Vṛṣabheśa (Prabhāsa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: King Ikṣvāku performs trikāla worship before the liṅga—morning, noon, evening—shown as three vignettes: offering water/flowers, midday lamp, evening incense; he eats once, sleeps on the ground, and sits in calm mastery of senses.
Steady worship joined with self-restraint (diet, sleep, senses) intensifies devotion and makes pilgrimage-practice spiritually effective.
Prabhāsakṣetra, where the Liṅga worship is performed as part of the site’s Māhātmya.
Trikāla-pūjā of the Liṅga, along with ascetic observances: ekāhāra (single meal), regulated diet, sleeping on the ground, and sense-control.
