FAQs

Even the agents of death acknowledge the higher, protective authority of Śiva’s attendants and the supremacy of devotion to Śiva.

No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; the focus is on Śiva’s divine retinue and cosmic protection.

None explicitly; it functions as a reverential salutation (namaskāra/stuti).
