किं देवी प्राप्तुकामासि किमलभ्यं ददामि ते । तच्छ्रुत्वोवाच गिरिजा गुरुगौरवगर्भितम्
kiṃ devī prāptukāmāsi kimalabhyaṃ dadāmi te | tacchrutvovāca girijā gurugauravagarbhitam
„O Göttin, was begehrst du zu erlangen? Was wäre unerreichbar? Ich will es dir gewähren.“ Als sie dies hörte, erwiderte Girijā mit Worten voller Gewicht und feierlicher Würde.
Brahmā (first two pādas); Girijā/Pārvatī (reply begins; as indicated)
Scene: Brahmā, composed and benevolent, offers any boon; Girijā answers with grave, guru-like dignity—her words heavy with meaning, her posture steady, eyes unwavering.
Divine governance often restores order through dialogue and boons; dignified speech (gourava) is itself a form of dharma.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
None; the verse introduces a boon-offer and the beginning of Girijā’s response.
