तस्याग्रे कारयामास वापीं स्वच्छोदकान्विताम् । सोपानपंक्तिभिर्युक्तां साधुभिः संप्रशंसिताम्
tasyāgre kārayāmāsa vāpīṃ svacchodakānvitām | sopānapaṃktibhiryuktāṃ sādhubhiḥ saṃpraśaṃsitām
ତାଙ୍କ ସମ୍ମୁଖରେ ସେ ସ୍ୱଚ୍ଛ ଜଳରେ ପରିପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ଏକ ବାପୀ (ପାଇଦା-କୂଆ) ନିର୍ମାଣ କରାଇଲେ; ତାହା ସୋପାନର ପଙ୍କ୍ତିରେ ଯୁକ୍ତ ଏବଂ ସାଧୁଜନଙ୍କ ଦ୍ୱାରା ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ପ୍ରଶଂସିତ ଥିଲା।
Narrator (contextual purāṇic narrator; unspecified in snippet)
Type: kund
Scene: Before the temple, artisans complete a pristine step-well with descending stone steps; sādhus and townsfolk admire the clear water and orderly architecture.
Creating public sources of pure water is praised as dharma and a tīrtha-supporting act that generates lasting puṇya.
A local tīrtha setting in Nāgara Khaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya is implied, centered on a newly constructed vāpī that becomes renowned.
No explicit rite is prescribed; the meritorious act is the construction of a clean-water vāpī with accessible steps.
