„Er allein ist das höchste Licht; sein Glanz ist selbst der Ruhm der Götter. Śaṅkara ist der Herr der drei Welten, die Seele des Alls—der Wohltäter, der den Welten Heil bringt.“
Nārada (continuation)
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pārvatī
Scene: A vast column of light rising beyond the Himalayan skyline, within which Śaṅkara is intuited as the universe’s Self; devas’ radiance appears as sparks from that single splendor.
All divine powers shine by the Supreme Light of Śiva, who sustains and blesses the entire cosmos.
Kedāra’s Śaiva landscape is the textual setting; the verse itself glorifies Śaṅkara universally as the Light and Lord of all realms.
None.
