अग्निष्टोमादिकाः सर्वाः क्रिया नष्टा धरातले । धर्मक्रियास्तथा चान्या मुक्त्वा देव्याः प्रपूजनम्
agniṣṭomādikāḥ sarvāḥ kriyā naṣṭā dharātale | dharmakriyāstathā cānyā muktvā devyāḥ prapūjanam
All rites beginning with the Agniṣṭoma sacrifice vanished from the earth, and other religious observances as well—except for the devoted worship of the Goddess.
Pulastya (continuing narration)

The Arbuda-khaṇḍa Devī-sthāna whose worship endures and is singled out as exceptional.
Devyāḥ prapūjanam—earnest, complete worship of the Goddess.
