Devanagari script

ततस्तथेति तैः सर्वैर्हृष्टैस्तत्र तथोदितम् । एवं मया स्थापिते स्थानकेऽस्मिन्संस्थापयामास च कापिलं मुनिः । स्थाने उभे देवकृते प्रसन्नास्ततो ययुर्देवता देवसद्म

Transliteration

Translation

അപ്പോൾ എല്ലാവരും സന്തോഷത്തോടെ അവിടെ “തഥാസ്തു” എന്നു സമ്മതിച്ചു. ഇങ്ങനെ ഞാൻ ഈ സ്ഥലം സ്ഥാപിച്ചതിനുശേഷം, മുനിയും വിധിപൂർവ്വം അവിടെ കപിലനെ പ്രതിഷ്ഠിച്ചു. ദേവകൃതമായ ആ രണ്ടു പ്രതിഷ്ഠകളിലും പ്രസന്നരായ ദേവതകൾ പിന്നെ തങ്ങളുടെ ദിവ്യധാമത്തിലേക്ക് പോയി।

FAQs

Consecrating and honoring a sacred place with proper installation brings divine approval and lasting sanctity.

A specific “sthānaka” (holy station) within the Kaumārikākhaṇḍa narrative is being sanctified; the verse emphasizes the act of installation rather than naming a famous pan-Indian tīrtha in this snippet.

Pratiṣṭhā/saṃsthāpana—formal installation or enshrinement—performed by a sage, leading to the satisfaction of the deities.
