प्रतिष्ठाप्य पुरा ब्रह्मा पुष्करे नीललोहितम् । प्राप्तवान्परमां सिद्धिं ससर्जेमाः प्रजाः प्रभुः
pratiṣṭhāpya purā brahmā puṣkare nīlalohitam | prāptavānparamāṃ siddhiṃ sasarjemāḥ prajāḥ prabhuḥ
प्राचीन काल में ब्रह्मा ने पुष्कर में नीललोहित की प्रतिष्ठा की; परम सिद्धि पाकर उसी प्रभु ने फिर इन प्रजाओं की सृष्टि की।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Puṣkara
Type: kshetra
Scene: On the banks of Puṣkara, Brahmā performs liṅga-pratiṣṭhā of Nīlalohita: sacred lake, lotus blooms, Vedic fires, and a blue-red (nīla-lohita) aura around the liṅga; afterward, a vision of creation unfolding.
Establishing Śiva (Nīlalohita) brings siddhi and empowers dharmic action—even cosmic duties like creation.
Puṣkara is explicitly praised as the place where Brahmā established Nīlalohita.
Liṅga-pratiṣṭhā (establishing the liṅga) is indicated as a meritorious act leading to siddhi.
