निशम्येति वचस्तुष्टः श्रीकंठोति विशुद्धधीः । हसन्प्रोवाच धातारं ब्रह्मन्सर्वमवैम्यहम्
niśamyeti vacastuṣṭaḥ śrīkaṃṭhoti viśuddhadhīḥ | hasanprovāca dhātāraṃ brahmansarvamavaimyaham
এই কথা শুনে বিশুদ্ধবুদ্ধি শ্রীকণ্ঠ (শিব) সন্তুষ্ট হলেন; হাসতে হাসতে ধাতা (ব্রহ্মা)-কে বললেন—“হে ব্রহ্মন, আমি সবই বুঝেছি।”
Narrator (introducing Śiva’s reply)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śrīkaṇṭha (Śiva), serene and smiling, addresses Dhātṛ (Brahmā) in a luminous assembly; the mood is conciliatory and authoritative.
The Lord’s serene smile signifies grace: sincere confession and dharmic reasoning are met with divine understanding.
The dialogue unfolds within the Kāśī-khaṇḍa narrative world, reinforcing Kāśī as the stage for profound divine-human discourse.
None; it is a transition into Śiva’s teaching/response.
