आगच्छंतु महाभागा विश्वेदेवा महाबलाः । ये यत्र विहिताः श्राद्धे सावधाना भवंतु ते
āgacchaṃtu mahābhāgā viśvedevā mahābalāḥ | ye yatra vihitāḥ śrāddhe sāvadhānā bhavaṃtu te
હે મહાભાગો, મહાબળવાન વિશ્વેદેવો પધારો. શ્રાદ્ધમાં જેમને જ્યાં જે વિધિ-ભાગ નિર્ધારિત છે, તેઓ ત્યાં સાવધાન રહી ઉપસ્થિત રહો.

Type: kshetra
Listener: king (rājendra)
Scene: A śrāddha setting at a tīrtha: a ritualist facing a prepared altar, palms joined in invocation, with subtle divine presences (Viśvedevās) arriving and taking assigned places; offerings arranged neatly.
Śrāddha is a sacred coordination of human intention and divine order—invocation is paired with attentiveness and correct placement.
The broader frame is Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra māhātmya; this verse specifically concerns liturgical invocation within the rite.
Invoke the Viśvedevās and request their attentive presence in the Śrāddha according to their assigned positions/functions.
