What is the primary spiritual lesson of this shloka?

Divine darśana may be brief, but its blessing endures; the boon is sealed by Śiva’s assent.

Which specific holy site (Tirtha) is glorified here?

The spot where Śiva granted the boon and disappeared becomes a sanctified locus within the Revā-region tīrtha map.

What ritualistic prescription is mentioned?

None directly; the verse narrates the completion of the boon-granting encounter.
