एता ये पूजयिष्यंति पूजयिष्यन्ति ते शिवाम् । शिवां ये पूजयिष्यंति तेऽर्चयन्ते हरं हरिम्
etā ye pūjayiṣyaṃti pūjayiṣyanti te śivām | śivāṃ ye pūjayiṣyaṃti te'rcayante haraṃ harim
Wer diese Gestalten verehrt, verehrt in Wahrheit Śivā. Und wer Śivā verehrt, der betet tatsächlich zugleich Hara und Hari an.
Sūta (deduced)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee offers flowers to a local Gaurī-form; the scene subtly reveals Śivā behind that form, and beyond her, the paired presence of Hara and Hari receiving the same offering—one act, multiple divine receptions.
Devī worship is not sectarian: honoring Śivā encompasses reverence for both Śiva (Hara) and Viṣṇu (Hari).
Vastrāpatha Kṣetra is celebrated as a place where Devī worship is affirmed as supremely meritorious.
Pūjā of the Gaurī/Śivā forms is recommended as a complete act of devotion embracing Hara and Hari.
