आगच्छंतु महाभागा विश्वेदेवा महाबलाः । ये यत्र विहिताः श्राद्धे सावधाना भवंतु ते
āgacchaṃtu mahābhāgā viśvedevā mahābalāḥ | ye yatra vihitāḥ śrāddhe sāvadhānā bhavaṃtu te
„Mögen die machtvollen Viśvedevās — o Ehrwürdige — herbeikommen. Und möge ein jeder im Śrāddha aufmerksam sein, gemäß dem ihm zugewiesenen Ort und Amt.“
Bhartṛyajña
Type: kshetra
Listener: king (rājendra)
Scene: A śrāddha setting at a tīrtha: a ritualist facing a prepared altar, palms joined in invocation, with subtle divine presences (Viśvedevās) arriving and taking assigned places; offerings arranged neatly.
Śrāddha is a sacred coordination of human intention and divine order—invocation is paired with attentiveness and correct placement.
The broader frame is Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra māhātmya; this verse specifically concerns liturgical invocation within the rite.
Invoke the Viśvedevās and request their attentive presence in the Śrāddha according to their assigned positions/functions.
