Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 90
योऽग्नौ तिष्ठति यो भूमौ यो वायौ सलिले च यः । य आकाशे च विश्वात्मा स पूज्यो नः सदाशिवः
yo'gnau tiṣṭhati yo bhūmau yo vāyau salile ca yaḥ | ya ākāśe ca viśvātmā sa pūjyo naḥ sadāśivaḥ
جو آگ میں قائم ہے، جو زمین میں، جو ہوا میں اور جو پانی میں ہے؛ اور جو آکاش میں وِشو آتما ہے—وہی سداشِو ہمارے لیے لائقِ پوجا ہے۔

FAQs
Śiva’s presence pervades all elements and space; worship recognizes the sacredness of the cosmos as Śiva’s manifestation.
No single tīrtha is singled out; the verse universalizes sacred geography by locating Śiva in all elements everywhere.
Only the general injunction of worshipping Sadāśiva; no specific vrata, dāna, or tīrtha-ritual is detailed.
