Diese göttliche Hymne, genannt «Karuṇābhyudaya» (Das Aufsteigen des Mitgefühls), verleiht jede Vollendung. Wer sie rezitiert und Bhṛgu gedenkt, gelangt am Ende des Leibes in Śivas Welt.

Type: kshetra

FAQs
Sacred recitation with remembrance (smaraṇa) is portrayed as a direct means to Śiva’s realm and spiritual fulfilment.
The focus is on the stotra’s merit rather than a named tīrtha; the setting remains within the Revā Khaṇḍa.
Paṭhana (recitation) of the Karuṇābhyudaya-stotra and smaraṇa (remembering) Bhṛgu are prescribed.
