त्यज सौम्यमिदं रूपं सितचन्द्रांशुनिर्मलम् । रुद्रं रूपं समास्थाय संहरस्व चराचरम्
tyaja saumyamidaṃ rūpaṃ sitacandrāṃśunirmalam | rudraṃ rūpaṃ samāsthāya saṃharasva carācaram
«Délaisse cette forme douce, pure comme les rayons de la lune blanche. Revêts la forme de Rudra et résorbe le mobile et l’immobile».
Mahādeva (Śiva)
Scene: Devī’s transformation: the gentle moonlike radiance recedes; she assumes a Rudra-like fierce aspect—flaming aura, dynamic posture—while Śiva remains the commanding still center. The cosmos shows signs of dissolution: waves, winds, collapsing constellations.
The Divine can be both gentle and fierce; the fierce form serves dharma by restoring cosmic balance through dissolution.
Revā-kṣetra context frames the narration; no individual tīrtha is singled out in this verse.
No explicit rite; it supports the Purāṇic understanding of multiple divine forms (rūpa-bheda) in worship.
