اے دیوتاؤں کے دیویش! تیرا خود ظہور لِنگ منونتروں کے درمیانی ادوار تک یہاں قائم رہے۔ ‘کپالیشور’ کے نام سے اس مقام پر اپنی دائمی حضوری قائم فرما۔
Brāhmaṇas/Ṛṣis
Tirtha: Kapāleśvara (liṅga) at Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/assembly (implied)
Scene: A self-manifest liṅga rises from the earth at Prabhāsa; devotees and sages request Mahādeva to remain through manvantara-intervals; the liṅga is named Kapāleśvara, with ocean-breeze and coastal light.
Sacred geography is made enduring by the deity’s established presence, offering an ever-available refuge across ages.
Kapāleśvara-sthāna in Prabhāsakṣetra, featuring a self-manifest liṅga.
The request is for permanent installation/abidance (sthiti) of the liṅga; it implies ongoing worship at the site.
