मूर्ध्नि शूलं जनयसे स्वैर्दोषैर्मामदिक्षिपन् । यत्त्वं मामाह कृष्णेति महाकालोऽसि विश्रुतः
mūrdhni śūlaṃ janayase svairdoṣairmāmadikṣipan | yattvaṃ māmāha kṛṣṇeti mahākālo'si viśrutaḥ
Du erzeugst einen Stachel des Schmerzes in meinem Kopf durch deine eigenen Fehler, während du mir die Schuld gibst. Da du mich 'dunkel' nennst, bist du wahrlich als Mahākāla berühmt!
Girijā (Pārvatī)
Scene: Pārvatī, pained and indignant, gestures toward her head as if struck by a spike of pain; Śiva stands calm yet enigmatic, the word ‘Mahākāla’ hovering as a dark aura of time behind him.
Harsh labels intensify suffering; dharma recommends truthful, non-injurious speech (ahiṃsā in vāc).
Mahākāla is a major Śiva form associated with Ujjain (Mahākāleśvara), but this verse itself does not explicitly narrate a tīrtha-māhātmya.
None.
