Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 88
यो विधाता विधातुश्च कारणस्यापि कारणम् । तेजसां परमं तेजः स शिवो नः परा गतिः
yo vidhātā vidhātuśca kāraṇasyāpi kāraṇam | tejasāṃ paramaṃ tejaḥ sa śivo naḥ parā gatiḥ
وہی ودھاتا ہے، اور ودھاتا کا بھی ودھاتا؛ سببوں کا بھی سبب؛ نوروں میں سب سے برتر نور۔ وہی شِو ہماری اعلیٰ ترین منزل ہے۔
Rājaputra (continuing reply)
Scene: Aniconic emphasis: a vast column/orb of light (jyoti) representing Śiva as supreme radiance; beneath it, Brahmā and other ‘ordiners’ appear small, indicating ‘ordainer of the ordainer’.

No particular sacred place is referenced; the glorification is of Śiva as the highest refuge.
None; the verse is doctrinal praise pointing toward liberation-oriented devotion.
