मच्छक्ति धारिणी त्वं वा सृजैवान्यां क्रतुक्रियाम् । अन्यो यज्ञपुमानस्तु संत्वन्ये लोकपालकाः
macchakti dhāriṇī tvaṃ vā sṛjaivānyāṃ kratukriyām | anyo yajñapumānastu saṃtvanye lokapālakāḥ
「わが力を担う者よ――汝みずから別のクラトゥ(祭儀)を起こし、執り行うがよい。あるいは、ヤジュニャを遂行する別の『祭儀の人』(供犠の担い手)を立て、さらに他の世界の守護者たちも置かしめよ。」
Śiva (Śaṃbhu/Bhava)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and other ṛṣis (typical frame; not explicit in excerpt)
Scene: Śaṃbhu addresses the Devī as bearer of his śakti, instructing her to set another sacrificial rite in motion and to appoint alternate agents—ṛtviks and even loka-pālas—suggesting a cosmic council around a yajña-plan.
Divine power (śakti) sustains ritual order: when one agent cannot proceed, dharma continues through proper appointment and delegation.
The broader setting is Kāśī in the Kāśī Khaṇḍa, though this verse focuses on yajña-order rather than naming a specific tīrtha.
The verse implies arranging/initiating an alternative sacrificial performance (kratu-kriyā) and appointing proper agents/guardians for the rite and order.
