प्रतिष्ठाप्य पुरा ब्रह्मा पुष्करे नीललोहितम् । प्राप्तवान्परमां सिद्धिं ससर्जेमाः प्रजाः प्रभुः
pratiṣṭhāpya purā brahmā puṣkare nīlalohitam | prāptavānparamāṃ siddhiṃ sasarjemāḥ prajāḥ prabhuḥ
في سالف الزمان، لما أقام براهما نيلالوهِيتا في بوشكرا نال السِّدهي العظمى؛ ثم إنّ ذلك الرب أوجد هذه الخلائق.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Puṣkara
Type: kshetra
Scene: On the banks of Puṣkara, Brahmā performs liṅga-pratiṣṭhā of Nīlalohita: sacred lake, lotus blooms, Vedic fires, and a blue-red (nīla-lohita) aura around the liṅga; afterward, a vision of creation unfolding.
Establishing Śiva (Nīlalohita) brings siddhi and empowers dharmic action—even cosmic duties like creation.
Puṣkara is explicitly praised as the place where Brahmā established Nīlalohita.
Liṅga-pratiṣṭhā (establishing the liṅga) is indicated as a meritorious act leading to siddhi.
