ततस्तुष्टमना देवो ग्रहत्वं तस्य तद्ददौ । तं संपूज्य विधानेन सोमपुत्रप्रतिष्ठितम् । सौम्याष्टम्यां विशेषेण राजसूयफलं लभेत्
tatastuṣṭamanā devo grahatvaṃ tasya taddadau | taṃ saṃpūjya vidhānena somaputrapratiṣṭhitam | saumyāṣṭamyāṃ viśeṣeṇa rājasūyaphalaṃ labhet
于是天神心生欢喜,赐他成为“摄星”(graha,行星之位)。若依教法礼敬由月之子布陀(Budha)所安立的布陀伊湿伐罗林伽,尤其在“索弥阿什塔弥”(Saumyāṣṭamī)之日,便得如同罗阇苏耶大祭的功德果报。
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Budheśvara (Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Budheśvara liṅga being worshipped with orderly offerings; the pleased deity grants Budha the status of a graha; a calendar-marked Saumyāṣṭamī emphasizes the auspicious timing; yajña imagery appears as a symbolic backdrop (royal sacrifice paraphernalia).
Divine grace rewards sustained devotion, and tīrtha-worship can confer great sacrificial merit even without royal resources.
Budheśvara Liṅga in Prabhāsakṣetra, established by Budha (Soma’s son).
Worship Budheśvara vidhivat (according to injunction), with special emphasis on Saumyāṣṭamī, to obtain Rājasūya-level merit.
