Shloka 159
रुद्र-स्तवराजः (Rudra-Stavarāja) — Exempla of Śiva’s Boons and the Hymn’s Phalaśruti
स्तूयमानो महादेवस्तुष्यते नियतात्मभि: । भक्तानुकम्पी भगवानात्मसंस्थाकरो विभु:
stūyamāno mahādevas tuṣyate niyatātmabhiḥ | bhaktānukampī bhagavān ātmasaṃsthākaro vibhuḥ ||
Ketika para bhakta yang berdisiplin dan mengendalikan diri memuji Mahādewa, beliau menjadi sangat berkenan. Sang Bhagavān, penuh welas asih kepada para bhakta, Mahakuasa yang meliputi segalanya, menegakkan mereka dalam keteguhan batin—menetapkan diri pada dirinya sendiri.

Educational Q&A
Self-restraint and sincere praise offered with a disciplined mind draw divine favor; Mahādeva responds with compassion and grants inner stability—helping the devotee become established in the Self.
Vāyudeva speaks, describing Mahādeva’s disposition: when devotees of controlled mind praise him, he is pleased and, out of compassion, bestows spiritual steadiness and inward anchoring.
