Transliteration

yāvacchaṃbhurdūrato nābhigacchettāvadgatvā śaṃkaraṃ kṣāmayasva | no cetanvi kṣāmayethāḥ śivaṃ tvaṃ duḥkhaṃ paścātte bhaviṣyatyavaśyam

Translation

Avant que Śambhu n’arrive de loin, va sur-le-champ et demande pardon à Śaṅkara. Sinon, ô svelte—si tu n’apaises pas Śiva—la douleur te viendra ensuite, à coup sûr.

FAQs

Do not postpone making amends; timely humility and appeasement prevent future suffering.

No explicit tīrtha is named; the Kedārakhaṇḍa context continues to frame the episode within Kedāra’s sacred setting.

A clear moral-ritual action is advised: approach Śiva promptly and perform kṣamā-yācana (seeking pardon/appeasement).
