अहमस्मिन्स्वके सेतौ शंकरत्रितयं शुभम् । स्थापयिष्यामि कीर्त्यर्थं तत्पूज्यं भवता सदा । भक्तिमान्प्रतिसंधाय यावच्चंद्रार्कतारकम्
ahamasminsvake setau śaṃkaratritayaṃ śubham | sthāpayiṣyāmi kīrtyarthaṃ tatpūjyaṃ bhavatā sadā | bhaktimānpratisaṃdhāya yāvaccaṃdrārkatārakam
«على هذا الجسر الذي هو جسري، سأُقيم ثلاثيةً مباركةً من لِنْغا شَنْكَرَا طلبًا لدوام الذِّكر. فعليك أن تعبدها دائمًا، مُستقرًّا في البهاكتي—ما دامت القمرُ والشمسُ والنجومُ باقية.»
Śrī Rāma
Tirtha: Setu-bandha with Śaṅkara-tritaya (triad of liṅgas)
Type: peak
Scene: On the stone causeway of the Setu, Śrī Rāma declares he will install three auspicious Śaṅkara-liṅgas; priests/attendants prepare a sanctified platform, with the ocean on both sides and vānaras assisting; Vibhīṣaṇa listens, receiving the charge of perpetual worship.
Devotion becomes enduring when anchored in sacred acts—installing and worshipping Śiva at a tīrtha transforms history into living dharma.
Setubandha and Rāmeśvara (Rāmeśvaram), where Śiva is worshipped as the sanctifier of the crossing and the victory’s culmination.
Śiva-liṅga pratiṣṭhā (installation) and nitya-pūjā (regular worship) performed with steadfast bhakti.
