Sthāpanī (crown-view anchor)
Crown / vertex target in the combat naming variant
This combat-view anchor places the requested Sthāpanī name at the crown or vertex, where a martial display needs a clear cranial apex target. Canonical Suśruta usage usually places Sthāpanī at the glabella and names the crown adhipati, so this point is an explicit modern naming variant and not a claim that those canonical labels are identical.

Suśruta-saṃhitā, Śārīrasthāna 6 (primary_canonical)
Śārīrasthāna 6.6–8 (Acharya ed.) names Adhipati at the cranial apex and places it in the sandhi class with the sadyaḥ-prāṇa-hara category; the label Sthāpanī here is explicitly an editorial naming variant, not the canonical glabellar placement.
