जीर्णोद्धारादिकरणमक्षय्यफलहेतुकम् । त्वं तु राज्यं परं प्राप्य सर्वभूपालदुर्लभम्
jīrṇoddhārādikaraṇamakṣayyaphalahetukam | tvaṃ tu rājyaṃ paraṃ prāpya sarvabhūpāladurlabham
Des œuvres telles que la restauration de ce qui est délabré (dans le domaine sacré) deviennent cause d’un mérite impérissable. Et toi, obtenant une royauté suprême—rare même parmi tous les souverains—tu prospéreras.
Śiva (as Liṅga)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Vārāṇasī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A patron oversees restoration of a weathered shrine and ghāṭ masonry; artisans work while priests bless the undertaking; the patron is shown receiving royal insignia, symbolizing rare kingship as fruit of dharma.
Service to sacred infrastructure (like restoration) is dharma that yields imperishable spiritual reward.
Kāśī is the implied sacred field where acts like jīrṇoddhāra become akṣaya (undiminishing) in result.
Jīrṇoddhāra (repair/renovation) and related pious works are praised as akṣayya-phala-hetu.
