कन्यादानेन महता तुष्टो यस्य च शंकरः । ते धन्यास्ते महात्मानः कृतकृतत्यास्तथैव च
kanyādānena mahatā tuṣṭo yasya ca śaṃkaraḥ | te dhanyāste mahātmānaḥ kṛtakṛtatyāstathaiva ca
طوبى لأولئك العظام النفوس؛ فبفضل عطية الابنة النبيلة يرضى شَنْكَرَة (Śaṅkara). إنهم حقًّا قد اكتملوا، وقد أُنجز ما ينبغي إنجازه.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra / Kedāranātha
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dharmic wedding-gift scene in a Himalayan Śiva-kṣetra: parents offering their daughter with water in hand (udaka-dāna), Śiva’s presence implied by liṅga/triśūla and a serene aura of blessing.
Righteous household duties performed as dharma—especially kanyādāna—become spiritually complete when they please Śiva.
Indirectly Kedāra’s Śaiva milieu is upheld; the verse focuses more on dharma than a single tirtha.
Kanyādāna (giving the daughter in marriage) is praised as a great dharmic act.
