अतिकोपसमायुक्तैः कस्मिंश्चित्कारणांतरे । तदा देवेन प्रतिज्ञातं सर्वेषां त्रिदिवौकसाम्
atikopasamāyuktaiḥ kasmiṃścitkāraṇāṃtare | tadā devena pratijñātaṃ sarveṣāṃ tridivaukasām
किसी कारणवश अत्यन्त क्रोध से युक्त होकर, उस समय देव ने त्रिदिव के समस्त निवासियों (देवताओं) के सामने प्रतिज्ञा की।
Pulastya
Tirtha: Arbuda-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Yayāti
Scene: Śiva, momentarily fierce with controlled anger, stands in a celestial court surrounded by devas; he pronounces a solemn vow, the atmosphere charged yet orderly.
Even divine wrath is framed within dharma through a solemn vow; cosmic order is maintained by commitment to one’s word.
The vow is part of the Arbuda (Acaleśvara) narrative, grounding Śiva’s presence and actions in that sacred landscape.
None directly; the verse highlights a divine pratijñā (vow), which becomes the theological basis for later sacred observances.
