यथा मया सदा कार्या प्रतिष्ठा शंकरात्मिका । भवद्भिः परिकार्या सा मम भागसमाश्रयैः
yathā mayā sadā kāryā pratiṣṭhā śaṃkarātmikā | bhavadbhiḥ parikāryā sā mama bhāgasamāśrayaiḥ
“Như ta hằng phải cử hành lễ an vị (pratiṣṭhā) mang tự tánh của Śaṅkara, thì các ngươi cũng hãy cùng thực hiện lễ ấy—hỡi những vị nương phần của ta, đồng chia sẻ chức phận tế tự của ta.”
Brahmā
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Someśvara consecration context)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Dvijas (ritual specialists)
Scene: Brahmā instructs the assembled dvijas: ‘As I must perform Śaṅkara’s consecration, so you must do it too’; the priests stand with ritual manuals, ready to begin, while the sanctum awaits installation.
Sacred rites are communal dharma: qualified participants must uphold and complete Śiva-centered consecrations faithfully.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the ritual setting where Śiva’s consecration is treated as a central sacred duty.
Pratiṣṭhā (installation) described as “śaṅkarātmikā,” requiring proper performance and priestly cooperation.
