कैलासशिखरस्थं तु महादेवं सनातनम् । ब्रह्माद्याः प्रास्तुवन् देवमृग्यजुःसामभिः शिवम्
kailāsaśikharasthaṃ tu mahādevaṃ sanātanam | brahmādyāḥ prāstuvan devamṛgyajuḥsāmabhiḥ śivam
Alors Brahmā et les autres dieux louèrent l’éternel Mahādeva, demeurant au sommet du Kailāsa, exaltant Śiva par des hymnes tirés du Ṛg, du Yajur et du Sāma.
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Kailāsa
Type: peak
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: On the radiant summit of Kailāsa stands eternal Mahādeva; Brahmā and the gods gather, chanting Vedic hymns—Ṛg, Yajur, Sāma—forming a celestial chorus.
Even the highest gods seek refuge in Śiva through Vedic praise—devotion and stuti are upheld as dharmic responses to cosmic crisis.
Kailāsa is invoked as Śiva’s divine abode (a transmundane sacred geography rather than a local river-tīrtha).
Implied practice: stuti/recitation of Vedic hymns in praise of Śiva.
