Kambu dit : «Si tu es satisfait, ô Seigneur des dieux, et si une grâce doit m’être accordée, que je sois impérissable et inaltérable, et que je puisse errer librement selon mon propre vouloir».
Kambu (Dānava)
Tirtha: Revā-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Īśvara (Devēśa/Śaṅkara)
Scene: Kambu, a daitya figure, speaks directly, requesting imperishability and the liberty to roam at will; Śiva listens in composed stillness.
Boons often mirror desire; the verse highlights how seekers may aim at power and autonomy rather than liberation.
The request arises within the Revā/Narmadā tīrtha narrative context.
None directly; it is a formal boon-request (vara-yācñā) following completed vrata and worship.
