ورأى الملك الإله متجلّيًا أمامه—ذا الحلق الأزرق، جالسًا على الثور—وفي يديه الرمح الثلاثي، والخَتْفانغا، والفأس، والجلد، والغزال، وإشارة الأمان من الخوف، ومنحة تحقيق المراد، وقوس بيناكا.

Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva appears before the king, seated upon Nandin the bull, blue-throated; multiple hands display trident, khaṭvāṅga, axe, hide, deer; one hand in abhaya-mudrā, another granting boons; Pināka present—an awe-inspiring guardian-king of the cosmos.
Śiva’s manifested form combines protection (abhaya) and the granting of rightful aims, affirming that divine grace can halt ruin and restore dharmic direction.
No particular tīrtha is named; the passage is a Śiva-darśana (deity-mahātmya) description.
