tasmādvaṃśātparibhraṣṭo vasoścedipateḥ punaḥ dattaḥ śakreṇa tuṣṭena lebhe tasmād bṛhadrathaḥ
Vom jenem Geschlecht abgeirrt, wurde Vasu, der König von Cedi, abermals wiederhergestellt—von Śakra (Indra), der mit ihm zufrieden war, zurückgeschenkt; und aus ihm ging Bṛhadratha hervor.

FAQs
Though not a direct linga-puja injunction, it supports the Purana’s theme that dharmic order is upheld by higher authority; in Shaiva framing, such restoration ultimately operates under Pati (Śiva) as the supreme governor of karma, even when mediated through devas like Indra.
Implicitly, it reflects Shiva-tattva as Pati overseeing the moral-cosmic law: when a lineage deviates (pāśa-bound disorder), restoration occurs through divine sanction—pointing to the higher sovereignty that Shaiva Siddhanta attributes to Śiva beyond all subordinate deities.
No specific puja-vidhi or Pashupata Yoga technique is stated; the takeaway is dharmic eligibility—right conduct and divine favor as prerequisites for stability in worldly rule, which later supports disciplined worship and vrata-based Shaiva practice.
