Aṣṭāvakra’s Visit to Kubera: Hospitality, Temptation, and the Ethics of Restraint (अष्टावक्र-वैश्रवणोपाख्यानम्)
स्तवराजमिमं कृत्वा रुद्राय दघधिरे मन: । सर्वदोषापहं पुण्यं पवित्रं च यशस्विन:
stavarājam imaṁ kṛtvā rudrāya dadhire manaḥ | sarvadoṣāpahaṁ puṇyaṁ pavitraṁ ca yaśasvinaḥ ||
ヴァーユは言った。ルドラを讃えるこの至上の讃歌（スタヴァラージャ）を作り、心を彼の観想に定める者は、名声を得る。なぜなら、この聖にして功徳ある「讃歌の王」は、あらゆる過失を除き、誦する者を清め、その心を信愛（バクティ）と道徳的浄化へと導くからである。

Educational Q&A
Sincere recitation/composition of a sacred hymn to Rudra, coupled with focused contemplation, purifies the practitioner, removes moral blemishes (doṣa), and leads to lasting good repute—linking inner devotion with ethical refinement.
Vāyu concludes by praising the efficacy of the ‘stavarāja’ addressed to Rudra: those who engage with it and fix their minds on Rudra attain purification and fame, emphasizing the hymn’s spiritual and moral power.
