Tirtha: Vṛṣabheśa (Prabhāsa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: King Ikṣvāku performs trikāla worship before the liṅga—morning, noon, evening—shown as three vignettes: offering water/flowers, midday lamp, evening incense; he eats once, sleeps on the ground, and sits in calm mastery of senses.

Prabhāsakṣetra, where the Liṅga worship is performed as part of the site’s Māhātmya.
Trikāla-pūjā of the Liṅga, along with ascetic observances: ekāhāra (single meal), regulated diet, sleeping on the ground, and sense-control.
