Translation

Daraufhin stimmten alle, voller Freude, dort zu und sprachen: „So sei es.“ Als ich auf diese Weise diesen heiligen Ort errichtet hatte, setzte der Weise auch Kapila dort ordnungsgemäß ein. Über beide vollbrachten göttlichen Gründungen erfreut, zogen die Gottheiten sodann in ihre himmlische Wohnstatt.

FAQs

Consecrating and honoring a sacred place with proper installation brings divine approval and lasting sanctity.

A specific “sthānaka” (holy station) within the Kaumārikākhaṇḍa narrative is being sanctified; the verse emphasizes the act of installation rather than naming a famous pan-Indian tīrtha in this snippet.

Pratiṣṭhā/saṃsthāpana—formal installation or enshrinement—performed by a sage, leading to the satisfaction of the deities.
