अजरश्चामरश्चैव प्रसादात्पद्मयोनिनः । स गत्वा तत्र विप्रेन्द्रो देवदेवस्य शूलिनः । लिंगं तु स्थापयामास ज्ञात्वा तत्क्षेत्रमुत्तमम्

蒙莲华所生者(梵天 Brahmā)之恩,他得以不老不死。随后,这位最胜婆罗门前往彼处,知其为殊胜圣域(kṣetra),便为持三叉戟之主——诸神之神——建立一座林伽(liṅga)。
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A venerable brāhmaṇa-sage, radiant with Brahmā’s boon of agelessness, arrives at Prabhāsa and consecrates a Śiva-liṅga; the sea-breeze and coastal sands frame the newly founded shrine.
A kṣetra becomes supremely holy through ṛṣi-realization and the consecration of Śiva’s liṅga.
Mārkaṇḍeyeśvara in Prabhāsakṣetra, founded through Mārkaṇḍeya’s installation of a Śiva-liṅga.
The archetypal act of pratiṣṭhā: establishing a Śiva-liṅga upon recognizing the excellence of the kṣetra.
