Vyāsa
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahārāja (king)
Scene: A sacred forest clearing in Dharmāraṇya where Devas and the Mother-goddesses gather around a newly prepared sanctum; Caṇḍikā’s son is ceremonially installed on a central seat with lamps, flowers, and Vedic chants.
A tīrtha’s sanctity is affirmed by collective divine participation—gods and Mothers together establish protective divinity for the welfare of the place.
Dharmāraṇya (and by extension Satyamaṃdira within it) as the arena of divine installation.
Implied sthāpana (installation/consecration) of the deity, though no step-by-step rite is detailed.
