दितिरुवाच । तवोच्छेदाय देवेश याचितः प्राङ्मया हरः । एकं देव सुतं देहि सर्वदेवनिबर्हणम्
ditiruvāca | tavocchedāya deveśa yācitaḥ prāṅmayā haraḥ | ekaṃ deva sutaṃ dehi sarvadevanibarhaṇam
દિતિ બોલી— હે દેવેશ! અગાઉ મેં હર પાસે તારા ઉચ્છેદ માટે યાચના કરી હતી. હે દેવ! મને એક એવો પુત્ર આપ, જે સર્વ દેવોને દમન કરી શકે.
Diti
Scene: Diti, solemn and intense, addresses the lord of gods with folded hands yet fierce resolve; a divine court setting with Indra-like regalia implied; shadow of impending conflict between devas and asuras.
Desire-driven boons aimed at harming others reflect adharma and set the stage for karmic consequence and divine reordering.
The verse is part of the Adhyāya 22 tīrtha-māhātmya narration, using mythic history to explain the tīrtha’s sanctity.
No direct ritual is prescribed here; it introduces a boon-request narrative involving Śiva.
