Need some help translating this verse in Sankrit..

In the Harihareshvar Mahatmya there is an interesting mantra that describes three holy places in this earth planet where the incarnation of Lord Vishnu, Vamana, left His footprints. The mantra goes as follows:

"Ekam Padam Gayayantu
MAKKAYAANTU Dwitiyakam
Tritiyam Sthapitam
Divyam Muktyai Shuklasya Sannidhau"

Meaning: Lord Vishnu's holy footprint consecrated at three main centres in the world, namely one in Gaya (in India), the other in Mecca, and the third near Shukla Teertha.

I was translating "gayaayaantu" here as Gaya being the noun (city name) and yaantu being the verb?? but then the sandhi cannot happen..

Please help translating this word to word??

Thanks.
