हसित्वा तद्रयात्सौरिरिदं वचनमब्रवीत् । पौरुषं तव राजेंद्र परं रिपुभयंकरम्
hasitvā tadrayātsauriridaṃ vacanamabravīt | pauruṣaṃ tava rājeṃdra paraṃ ripubhayaṃkaram
ત્યારે સૂર્યપુત્ર શનિ હસી ને બોલ્યો— “રાજેન્દ્ર! તારો પરાક્રમ પરમ છે; શત્રુઓ માટે અત્યંત ભયંકર છે.”
Śani (Sauri)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śani (Sauri), dark-hued and austere, smiles/laughs gently while addressing King Daśaratha with grave admiration; a courtly yet cosmic atmosphere, with hints of Prabhāsa’s sacred coastline in the background.
Even formidable cosmic forces acknowledge disciplined courage; dhārmic valor earns recognition and can transform conflict into dialogue.
The praise-context remains Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya, which glorifies Prabhāsa by preserving such dharma-centered episodes.
None; the verse records Śani’s commendation rather than a rite.
