Shloka 72
अध्याय १६ — शङ्कर-उमा-वरदानम् तथा तण्डि-स्तुतिः (Śaṅkara–Umā Boon-Granting and Taṇḍi’s Hymn)
उपमन्युरुवाच एतान् दत्त्वा वरान् देवो वन्द्यमान: सुरभि: | स्तूयमानश्व विबुधैस्तत्रैवान्तरधीयत
Upamanyur uvāca: etān dattvā varān devo vandyamānaḥ surabhiḥ | stūyamānaś ca vibudhais tatraivāntaradhīyata ||
ウパマニュは言った。「これらの恩寵を授け終えると、スラビーに礼拝され、諸天に讃えられる神なる主は、その場で姿を隠して消え去った。」この段は、真実の帰依と正しい讃嘆が神の恩寵を招く一方で、神の臨在は捉えがたく、みずからの意志のままに現れては退くことを示している。

Educational Q&A
Divine grace is obtained through rightful reverence and praise, but the divine is not bound to remain visible; after granting blessings, the Lord may withdraw, emphasizing transcendence and the need for sustained faith rather than dependence on outward signs.
Upamanyu narrates that Mahādeva, after granting the requested boons, is honored by Surabhi and praised by the gods, and then disappears on the spot—marking the completion of the boon-giving encounter.
