Rudra-Śiva: Names, Two Natures, and the Logic of Epithets (रुद्रनाम-बहुरूपत्व-प्रकरणम्)
गुरुणा चाभ्यनुज्ञात: समावर्तेत वै द्विज: । विन्देतानन्तरं भार्यामनुरूपां यथाविधि
guruṇā cābhyanujñātaḥ samāvarteta vai dvijaḥ | vindetānantaraṃ bhāryām anurūpāṃ yathāvidhi ||
قال مهيشفارا: «إذا انقضت مدة البراهماتشاريا (حياة التتلمذ والعفة)، فعلى ذي الميلادين أن ينال إذن معلمه ثم يقيم طقس السامافارتانا (مراسم التخرج من طور التلمذة). ثم يعود إلى حياة البيت، ووفق الشعائر المقررة، يتخذ زوجةً لائقةً توافق مقامه».
श्रीमहेश्वर उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse lays down āśrama-dharma: after completing brahmacarya, one should not act independently but seek the guru’s consent, formally conclude studentship through samāvartana, and then enter gṛhastha life through a lawful, ritually sanctioned marriage with a suitable partner.
Śrī-Maheśvara is instructing on proper conduct and life-stages. He describes the transition from student life to household life: permission from the teacher, the rite of samāvartana, and then marriage performed according to prescribed rules.
