विमानवरमारुह्य तुष्टोऽहं तव सुव्रते । गत्वैकांतप्रदेशं ते कथये परमं महः
vimānavaramāruhya tuṣṭo'haṃ tava suvrate | gatvaikāṃtapradeśaṃ te kathaye paramaṃ mahaḥ
«O du mit edlen Gelübden, besteige dieses vortreffliche Vimāna. Ich bin dir wohlgesinnt; mit dir an einen abgeschiedenen Ort gehend, werde ich dir die höchste heilige Herrlichkeit verkünden.»
Śiva (addressing Pārvatī)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva, pleased, invites Pārvatī to ascend a splendid vimāna; they depart toward a secluded region where he will narrate the supreme sacred glory.
Spiritual truths and tīrtha-glories are revealed through divine guidance to the sincere, described here as ‘suvrata’ (steadfast in vows).
The verse announces an upcoming revelation; the tīrtha is identified as the narrative proceeds in Adhyāya 261.
No specific rite is prescribed; the emphasis is on approaching the sacred in purity of vow and receptivity.
