एवंविधं तं प्रसमीक्ष्य कालं संचिंत्यमानं मनसाऽचलेन । शैवं पदं यत्परमार्थरूपं कैवल्यसायुज्यकरं स्वरूपतः
evaṃvidhaṃ taṃ prasamīkṣya kālaṃ saṃciṃtyamānaṃ manasā'calena | śaivaṃ padaṃ yatparamārtharūpaṃ kaivalyasāyujyakaraṃ svarūpataḥ
Voyant Kāla en cet état, méditant d’un esprit inébranlable, (il contempla) la Demeure suprême śaiva, dont la nature est la vérité ultime et qui, par sa propre essence, accorde l’union menant à la délivrance (kaivalya).
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating
Tirtha: Kedāra (as liberative kshetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A seeker (or the observing consciousness) beholds Kāla paused in thought, while the narrative lens turns upward to the luminous ‘Śaiva pada’—an abstract, radiant realm/state symbolizing paramārtha and liberation.
Steady contemplation of Śiva’s highest reality is described as the direct cause of liberating union.
Kedāra is the implied sacred setting; the teaching frames the tirtha as aligned with the highest Śaiva goal.
No external rite; the prescription is inner steadiness (acala-manas) and contemplation of the Śaiva state.
