Devanagari script

यावच्छंभुर्दूरतो नाभिगच्छेत्तावद्गत्वा शंकरं क्षामयस्व । नो चेतन्वि क्षामयेथाः शिवं त्वं दुःखं पश्चात्ते भविष्यत्यवश्यम्

Transliteration

yāvacchaṃbhurdūrato nābhigacchettāvadgatvā śaṃkaraṃ kṣāmayasva | no cetanvi kṣāmayethāḥ śivaṃ tvaṃ duḥkhaṃ paścātte bhaviṣyatyavaśyam

Translation

Sebelum Śambhu datang dari jauh, segeralah pergi dan mohon ampun kepada Śaṅkara. Jika tidak, wahai yang ramping, bila engkau gagal menenteramkan Śiva, niscaya duka akan menimpamu kemudian.

FAQs

Do not postpone making amends; timely humility and appeasement prevent future suffering.

No explicit tīrtha is named; the Kedārakhaṇḍa context continues to frame the episode within Kedāra’s sacred setting.

A clear moral-ritual action is advised: approach Śiva promptly and perform kṣamā-yācana (seeking pardon/appeasement).
