दक्षमानय शीघ्रं भो येनेदं कृतमीदृशम् । यज्ञे विलक्षणं तात यस्येदं फलमीदृशम्
dakṣamānaya śīghraṃ bho yenedaṃ kṛtamīdṛśam | yajñe vilakṣaṇaṃ tāta yasyedaṃ phalamīdṛśam
“দক্ষক শীঘ্ৰে লৈ আহা, হে ভদ্ৰ! যাৰ দ্বাৰা এইদৰে এই কাৰ্য সংঘটিত হ’ল। হে তাত, এই যজ্ঞ অতি বিচিত্ৰ—যাৰ ফল এইদৰে ওলাইছে।”
Rudra (Śiva)
Listener: Ṛṣis
Scene: Śiva, calm yet authoritative, instructs Vīrabhadra to bring Dakṣa; the ruined sacrifice around them underscores the ‘strange fruit’ of the yajña.
A rite performed in ego yields distorted results; dharma requires humility and honoring the divine.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it serves the Kedārakhaṇḍa’s broader Śaiva teaching.
None directly; the verse comments on the anomalous ‘fruit’ (phala) of a flawed sacrifice.
