भगवानुवाच । ज्ञातोऽस्मि मुनिशार्दूल त्वया वेदविदां वर । वरं वरय भद्रं ते नित्यं यन्मनसेप्सितम्
bhagavānuvāca | jñāto'smi muniśārdūla tvayā vedavidāṃ vara | varaṃ varaya bhadraṃ te nityaṃ yanmanasepsitam
Der Herr sprach: „Du hast mich erkannt, o Tiger unter den Weisen, o Bester der Veda-Kenner. Wähle eine Gabe — Segen sei dir — was immer dein Herz beständig begehrt.“
Bhagavān (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: The Lord speaks compassionately to the sage, acknowledging that he has been truly recognized, and invites him to choose a boon; the atmosphere is intimate, sacred, and solemn.
When the divine is truly recognized with devotion, grace naturally flows and the Lord becomes ‘Varada’ (giver of boons).
Prabhāsakṣetra, the sanctified setting for Śiva’s boon-giving compassion.
No explicit ritual; the emphasis is on recognition (jñāna) and devotion (bhakti) leading to divine favor.
