Prabhāsa-kṣetra: Circuit of Tīrthas and Shrines Leading to Bhukti and Mokṣa
भक्त्या पृथक् पृथक् तेषां पूजां कृत्वा विधानवित् । शिवसालोक्यमाप्नोति निग्रहानुग्रहे क्षमः ॥ १३ ॥
bhaktyā pṛthak pṛthak teṣāṃ pūjāṃ kṛtvā vidhānavit | śivasālokyamāpnoti nigrahānugrahe kṣamaḥ || 13 ||
通晓仪轨者以虔敬之心(bhakti)分别依规礼拜诸尊,便得湿婆世界之同住果(sālokya);并且堪受约束之摄持(nigraha)与慈恩之加被(anugraha)。

It teaches that devotion (bhakti) combined with correct ritual method (vidhi) yields a definite spiritual fruit—Śiva-sālokya—while refining the worshipper’s capacity for disciplined restraint and compassionate grace.
Bhakti is presented as active and intentional: one worships “each separately” with focused reverence, showing that devotion is strengthened through attentive, non-mechanical practice aligned with scriptural procedure.
It emphasizes ritual correctness (vidhi), aligning with Kalpa (the Vedanga dealing with procedures of rites), where knowing the proper sequence and rules of pūjā is treated as spiritually consequential.
