Nārada
Tirtha: Tṛtīya-liṅga (third liṅga) episode site (name not specified in the given verse)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Nārada narrates to an unseen audience; in the divine court, Guha/Skanda expresses desire to establish a third liṅga; Brahmā responds with a decisive vow to create another liṅga for Guha’s delight.
Establishing a liṅga is portrayed as a divine act of devotion and sacred place-making, done to honor and gladden the devotee.
The passage transitions into a liṅga-pratiṣṭhā episode within the same Kaumārikākhaṇḍa sacred geography (specific liṅga name follows in subsequent verses).
Liṅga-sthāpana (installation/establishment of a Śiva-liṅga) as a meritorious, devotion-filled act.
