Translation

Dengan anugerah itu, Tuhan Someśvara menganugerahkan kepadanya darśana-Nya. Karena perut-Nya digambarkan berbentuk seperti kaparda (kulit kerang cowrie), maka ketahuilah, wahai mahātmā, nama Sang Agung itu ialah ‘Kapardī’.

Divine vision (darśana) is attained through grace; sacred epithets preserve theological meaning and inspire devotion.

Prabhāsa-kṣetra, with emphasis on Someśvara (Śiva) and the bestowal of darśana there.
