स्थाणुभूतो महातेजा वीरस्थाने च भामिनि । अतिष्ठत्सुचिरं कालमेकदेशे वरानने
sthāṇubhūto mahātejā vīrasthāne ca bhāmini | atiṣṭhatsuciraṃ kālamekadeśe varānane
हे भामिनि, हे वरानने! वह महातेजस्वी वीरस्थान में स्तम्भ-सा अचल होकर, एक ही स्थान पर बहुत दीर्घ काल तक खड़ा रहा।
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Vīrasthāna (Prabhāsa-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī/‘bhāminī’ (addressed lady)
Scene: A radiant ascetic stands motionless in Vīrasthāna, like a living pillar, while time seems to pass around him; the landscape hints at coastal Prabhāsa with sacred stillness.
Steadfastness in practice (dhṛti) is praised—true tapas is unwavering, rooted in one-pointedness.
Vīrasthāna within the Prabhāsa region, highlighted as the locus of Cyavana’s long austerity.
None; the verse depicts meditative stillness as a spiritual discipline.
