येनैव स्थापितो देवः पूज्यते वर्षसंख्यया । तावद्वर्षसहस्राणि रुद्रलोके स पूज्यते
yenaiva sthāpito devaḥ pūjyate varṣasaṃkhyayā | tāvadvarṣasahasrāṇi rudraloke sa pūjyate
యెవరిచేత దేవుడు ప్రతిష్ఠింపబడినాడో, ఆ ప్రతిష్ఠానంతరం ఎంత సంవత్సరాలు పూజింపబడుతాడో, అంతే సంవత్సరసహస్రాలు రుద్రలోకంలో అతడు పూజింపబడుతాడు।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced for Āvantya Khaṇḍa narrative style)
Listener: nṛpavara-śreṣṭha (king addressed in nearby verses)
Scene: A patron installs a Śiva-deity (liṅga or mūrti) with priests performing pratiṣṭhā rites; above, a vision of Rudra-loka where the patron is honored for thousands of years.
Supporting enduring worship (by installing a deity) multiplies merit, yielding prolonged honor and exalted status in Rudra’s realm.
Not a single named tīrtha; the verse praises the act of installing a deity and sustaining worship within the sacred landscape of the Revā Khaṇḍa.
Deva-sthāpana (installation/consecration) and continued pūjā over years; the merit is described in a phala-śruti style.
