भाद्रे कृष्णतृतीयायां यश्चैतं पूजयिष्यति । सोऽश्वमेधसहस्रस्य फलमाप्स्यत्यसंशयम्
bhādre kṛṣṇatṛtīyāyāṃ yaścaitaṃ pūjayiṣyati | so'śvamedhasahasrasya phalamāpsyatyasaṃśayam
بھادراپد کے کرشن پکش کی تیسری تِتھی کو جو اس (لِنگ) کی پوجا کرے، وہ بے شک ہزار اشومیدھ یگیوں کے برابر پُنّیہ پھل پاتا ہے۔
Śiva (Rudra)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Pṛthivīśa-liṅga context)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee worships a radiant Śiva-liṅga in Prabhāsa on Bhādrapada kṛṣṇa tṛtīyā; priests hold lamps, conch sounds, and offerings of bilva and water; the sea-breeze and temple flags frame the sanctum.
Time, place, and devotion converge: worship performed at an auspicious tithi in a great kṣetra multiplies spiritual merit.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, specifically the Dharitrī-liṅga that grants extraordinary merit when worshiped on the stated date.
Pūjā (worship) of the liṅga on Bhādrapada kṛṣṇa-tṛtīyā, promised to yield the fruit of a thousand Aśvamedhas.
