Śiva (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Somnātha/Prabhāsa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: (ṛṣi assembly)
Scene: After flower-offering, the devotee circles the shrine thrice, visualizing Sadāśiva; then performs sāṣṭāṅga praṇipāta before the liṅga, with garlands and petals scattered on the floor.
True worship unites inner contemplation (dhyāna) and outer reverence (offerings, circumambulation, prostration).
The worship sequence pertains to Bhūteśvara/Sadāśiva in Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
Offer flowers, meditate on Sadāśiva, perform three pradakṣiṇās, and do sāṣṭāṅga praṇāma.
