तदानयाम भद्रं ते समभ्यर्च्य कपर्दिनम् “आपका कल्याण हो। हम महात्मा गिरीशके चरणोंमें प्रणाम करके उन जटाजूटधारी महेश्वरकी सम्यक् आराधना करके उस धनको ले आवें
tadānayāma bhadraṃ te samabhyarcya kapardinam |
Vaiśampāyana said: “May auspiciousness be yours. Having bowed at the feet of the great Lord Girīśa, the matted-haired Maheśvara, and having duly worshipped him, we shall bring that wealth here.”

Educational Q&A
The verse emphasizes dharmic conduct through reverence and proper worship: auspicious outcomes (such as obtaining wealth) are sought not by force or entitlement but by humility, salutation, and correct devotion to the divine.
The speaker states an intention: after offering salutations and duly worshipping Śiva (named Kapardin/Girīśa/Maheśvara), they will fetch and bring back the specified wealth, framing the action as sanctioned through devotion and ritual propriety.
