اس مقام کے مغرب میں جو لِنگ آپ نے قائم کیا، وہ اُماناتھ (اُما کے ناتھ، شِو) کے لیے شاستری طریقے سے نصب ہوا؛ اسی لیے وہ ‘سومناتھ’ کے نام سے یاد کیا جاتا ہے۔
Īśvara (Śiva) (deduced from continuing address to Kubera and site-etymology)
Tirtha: Somanātha (Umānātha) in Prabhāsakṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: (Contextual) a sage/interlocutor in Prabhāsa-māhātmya (often Nārada/others depending on recension)
Scene: A consecration scene: Kubera (or the establishing devotee) stands before a newly installed liṅga to the west of the sacred precinct; priests perform abhiṣeka; the sea-breeze of Prabhāsa and temple banners frame the moment; Umā and Maheśvara’s presence is implied through iconographic aura.
Consecration performed according to dharma (vidhi) anchors divine presence in place, making geography itself a vessel of remembrance (smṛti).
Somanātha (Somnāth) in the Prabhāsakṣetra region, described as west of Kuberanagara.
Liṅga-pratiṣṭhā performed vidhivat (according to proper consecration rules).
