Translation

ಪುಲಸ್ತ್ಯನು ಹೇಳಿದರು—ಅವರ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ಅವಳು ಆಗ ಬಹುಕಾಲ ಚಿಂತಿಸಿದಳು. ನಂತರ ತನ್ನ ಪಾದುಕಗಳನ್ನು ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಬಿಟ್ಟು, ಶಿಲಾಜ ಪೀಠದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅವನ್ನು ಸ್ಥಾಪಿಸಿ, ಹೇ ರಾಜೇಂದ್ರ, ಸಂಕಟಕ್ಕೊಳಗಾದ ಎಲ್ಲ ದೇವತೆಗಳಿಗೆ ಮಾತಾಡಿದಳು.

FAQs

Divine protection can be established through symbolic presence (pādukā), showing how sacred objects anchor protective power at a holy site.

Arbuda is the narrative locus; the pādukā being placed “there” suggests a sanctified spot within the Arbuda sacred landscape.

No formal rite is prescribed; a sacred act of installing/placing the pādukā as a protective measure is described.
