स आगत्य हठान्मृत्युं त्वत्पुत्रं हंतुमागतम् । गृहीत्वा सुदृढं बद्ध्वा दंडेनाभ्यहनद्रुषा
sa āgatya haṭhānmṛtyuṃ tvatputraṃ haṃtumāgatam | gṛhītvā sudṛḍhaṃ baddhvā daṃḍenābhyahanadruṣā
वह आया और बलपूर्वक तुम्हारे पुत्र को मारने आए मृत्यु को पकड़ लिया; उसे दृढ़ता से बाँधकर क्रोध में दंड से प्रहार किया।
Nārada (continuing narration)

Cosmic forces like Death are also subordinate within a higher divine order; Śiva’s power is depicted as supreme.
No tīrtha is referenced in this verse.
None explicitly; it is narrative action illustrating divine guardianship.
