चित्रांगदोपि तत्रैव कृत्वा प्रासादमुत्तमम् । लिंगं संस्थापयामास देवदेवस्य शूलिनः
citrāṃgadopi tatraiva kṛtvā prāsādamuttamam | liṃgaṃ saṃsthāpayāmāsa devadevasya śūlinaḥ
Citrāṅgada juga di situ membina sebuah kuil yang amat mulia, lalu menegakkan sebuah liṅga bagi Śiva, Sang Pemegang Trisula, Dewa segala dewa.
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.
