आदौ भक्तस्थलं प्रोक्तं ततो माहेश्वरस्थलम्।
प्रसादिस्थलमन्यत्तु प्राणलिङ्गिस्थलं ततः।।
शरणस्थलमाख्यातं षष्ठमैक्यस्थलं मतम्।।२४।।

prasādisthalamanyattu prāṇaliṅgisthalaṁ tataḥ ||
śaraṇasthalamākhyātaṁ
ṣaṣṭhamaikyasthalaṁ matam ||24||
The first one is said to be the Bhaktasthala, then the
Māheśvarasthala. Prasādisthala is another. Then comes the
Prāṇaliṅgisthala. Śaraṇasthala is then told. Aikyasthala is
regarded as the sixth. (24-25)

O Agastya, Pitcher - born Sage, I shall first tell you about
Bhaktasthala and its sub-varieties. Listen to me with your
mind extremely attentive. (25)
शैवी भक्तिः समुत्पन्ना यस्यासौ भक्त उच्यते।
तस्यानुष्ठेयधर्माणामुक्तिर्भक्तस्थलं मतम्।।२६।।
śaivī bhaktiḥ samutpannā yasyāsau bhakta ucyate |
tasyānuṣṭheyadharmāṇāmuktirbhaktasthalaṁ matam ||26||
He in whom devotion of Śiva has arisen is called Bhakta.
Bhaktasthala consists in the exposition of the religious
practices to be practised by him (i.e., the Bhakta). (26)
