ईदृशं च तपो घोरं कस्माद्वत्स त्वया कृतम् । वरं दास्याम्यहं वत्स यस्ते मनसि वर्तते
īdṛśaṃ ca tapo ghoraṃ kasmādvatsa tvayā kṛtam | varaṃ dāsyāmyahaṃ vatsa yaste manasi vartate
«Pourquoi, cher enfant, as-tu accompli une austérité si redoutable ? Dis-moi : le bienfait qui demeure en ton esprit, ce bienfait je te l’accorderai.»
Maheśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tirtha-region
Type: river
Scene: Śiva, compassionate and regal, asks the tapasvin why such fierce austerity was done and offers to grant the boon residing in his mind.
Tapas culminates in divine audience and grace; the Lord as Varada responds to intense discipline by offering fulfillment of the seeker’s intention.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; the moment sanctifies the place of austerity within the Revā Khaṇḍa landscape.
None explicitly; the implied spiritual mechanism is tapas leading to vara (boon) through divine approval.
