Harihara Revelation and the Tirtha-Glorification of Saptasarasvata in Kurukshetra
भवानपि कुरुक्षेत्रे मूर्तिं स्थाप्य गरीयसीम् गमिष्यति महापुण्यं ब्रह्मलोकं सुदुर्गमम्
bhavānapi kurukṣetre mūrtiṃ sthāpya garīyasīm gamiṣyati mahāpuṇyaṃ brahmalokaṃ sudurgamam
你亦当如是:在俱卢克舍特罗(Kurukṣetra)安立尊胜圣像(mūrti),便将前往功德至极、难以证达的梵天界(Brahmaloka)。

In tīrtha-māhātmya passages, a kṣetra’s sanctity amplifies ritual acts. Mūrti-sthāpana is treated as a durable, public dharmic act (a continuing source of worship), so its merit is described in elevated terms such as Brahmaloka attainment.
Typically, Brahmaloka denotes a very high celestial realm rather than immediate mokṣa. In Purāṇic idiom it can function as a superlative reward; liberation would usually be stated explicitly (mokṣa, kaivalya, nirvāṇa) or tied to jñāna.
Kurukṣetra is a pan-Indic pilgrimage landscape. The verse anchors the narrative’s soteriological promise in a specific, map-able sacred region, consistent with the Vāmana Purāṇa’s strong tīrtha-geography orientation.
