यत्र तेन तपस्तप्तं संस्थाप्योमामहेश्वरौ । यच्छता विविधं दानं ब्राह्मणेभ्योऽभिवांछितम्
yatra tena tapastaptaṃ saṃsthāpyomāmaheśvarau | yacchatā vividhaṃ dānaṃ brāhmaṇebhyo'bhivāṃchitam
“وہیں اس نے تپسیا کی؛ اور اُما اور مہیشور کو پرتیِشٹھت کر کے، برہمنوں کو طرح طرح کے دان دیے—جو ان کی خواہش کے مطابق مناسب اور پسندیدہ تھے۔”
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa/Sūta narrator)
Tirtha: Hariścandra-āśrama Umā-Maheśvara-sthāpana-sthāna
Type: kshetra
Scene: Hariścandra in ascetic posture near a simple shrine; Umā and Maheśvara installed and worshipped; attendants distribute gifts—cows, gold, cloth, grain—to brāhmaṇas.
A tīrtha becomes spiritually radiant through tapas, deity स्थापना (installation), and dāna offered in dharma to worthy recipients.
The sanctity centers on Hariścandra’s āśrama-region where Umā-Maheśvara were installed; it is part of the Tīrthamāhātmya sacred circuit described in this adhyāya.
Worship through installation of Umā-Maheśvara and the performance of dāna (charitable gifting) to brāhmaṇas.
