te tatheti pratijñāya gatvā śakrasya śāsanāt | cakrustataḥ samucchinnaṃ tanmāhātmyaṃ gataṃ bhuvi
انہوں نے ‘یوں ہی ہو’ کہہ کر عہد کیا، اور شکر کے حکم سے روانہ ہو کر انہوں نے اس ماہاتمیہ کو کاٹ کر مٹا دیا، یہاں تک کہ زمین پر اس کی شہرت غائب ہو گئی۔
Sūta (narrating the outcome)
Tirtha: Acaleśvara/Camatkārapura (implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A group of commanded beings depart under Indra’s order and enact a ‘severing’ of the site’s fame—symbolized as cutting a scroll, extinguishing lamps, or veiling a radiant shrine with mist—so the world forgets.

The māhātmya being suppressed pertains to Acaleśvara-kṣetra and its associated sacred geography.
None; it describes the suppression of a sacred site’s renown.
