चित्रांगदोपि तत्रैव कृत्वा प्रासादमुत्तमम् । लिंगं संस्थापयामास देवदेवस्य शूलिनः
citrāṃgadopi tatraiva kṛtvā prāsādamuttamam | liṃgaṃ saṃsthāpayāmāsa devadevasya śūlinaḥ
Citrāṅgada, en ce même lieu, érigea un temple excellent et y consacra un liṅga du Seigneur au trident, le Dieu des dieux.
Sūta (continuing narration from prior verse)
Type: temple
Listener: Śaunaka and sages (frame implied)
Scene: Citrāṅgada oversees the building of a splendid temple; priests perform rites as a liṅga of Śūlin (Śiva with trident) is installed—cranes, stone blocks, ritual vessels, and a sanctum taking shape.
Founding a shrine and installing a liṅga is presented as a dharmic act that anchors Śiva’s presence in the landscape and generates lasting merit.
The act occurs “there itself” within the Adhyāya 144 tīrtha setting; the verse does not specify the site-name.
Liṅga-pratiṣṭhā (installation of a Śiva-liṅga) and temple construction as devotional acts.
