ममादेशात्परित्यज्य स्वर्गं गच्छ धरातलम् । पितृपैतामहं स्थानं राज्यं तत्र समाचर
mamādeśātparityajya svargaṃ gaccha dharātalam | pitṛpaitāmahaṃ sthānaṃ rājyaṃ tatra samācara
«Par mon ordre, quitte le ciel et descends sur la terre. Là, dans le domaine ancestral de tes pères et aïeux, exerce ta royauté.»
Śiva (implied as the issuer of the command; voiced through the messenger in context)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The emissary delivers Śiva’s ultimatum to Andhaka: leave Svarga, descend to Earth, rule only in ancestral territory; depict a threshold between celestial and terrestrial realms—cloud stairway or cosmic axis.
Power must align with rightful domain; divine command re-establishes boundaries that sustain dharma and cosmic balance.
No named tīrtha appears; ‘dharātala’ is generic (earth), and ‘ancestral place’ is not geographically specified.
None; it is an injunction regarding rightful rule and relocation.
