Shloka 29
Śatarudrīya-prabhāva and Rudra’s Supremacy (शतरुद्रीयप्रभावः)
ततो वितिमिरो लोक: क्षणेन समपद्यत | ज्वाला च महती दीप्ता ललाटात् तस्य नि:सृता,तदनन्तर क्षणभरमें सारे जगत्का अन्धकार दूर हो गया। भगवान् शिवके ललाटसे अत्यन्त दीप्तिशालिनी महाज्वाला प्रकट हो गयी
tato vitimiro lokaḥ kṣaṇena samapadyata | jvālā ca mahatī dīptā lalāṭāt tasya niḥsṛtā |
やがて、瞬く間に世界から闇が退いた。するとただちに、シヴァの額から、まばゆく圧倒的な大いなる炎がほとばしり出て、昏冥を払い、秩序と明晰を回復させる神威を顕した。

Darkness—symbolizing ignorance, fear, or disorder—can be removed instantly by the manifestation of divine insight and power. Śiva’s blaze signifies a higher clarity that restores cosmic balance and dispels obscuration.
Nārada narrates that the world suddenly becomes free of darkness, and a tremendous, radiant flame emerges from Śiva’s forehead, marking a dramatic divine manifestation that changes the state of the world.
