तपसा च तदा शंभुस्तोषितः शशिशे खरः । तत्राजगाम जटिलो भस्मांगो वृषभध्वजः
tapasā ca tadā śaṃbhustoṣitaḥ śaśiśe kharaḥ | tatrājagāma jaṭilo bhasmāṃgo vṛṣabhadhvajaḥ
その苦行によってシャンブは満悦された。すると、月を頂く猛き主がそこへ来臨した。結髪の髪、身に聖灰を塗り、牡牛を印として掲げて。
Vyāsa (continued narration)
Tirtha: Śiva-darśana-sthāna in Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Listener: Bhārata (royal listener)
Scene: Śiva arrives in the forest clearing: jaṭā piled, body smeared with bhasma, crescent moon on the head, bull emblem present; the air charged with sacred dread and compassion.
Austerity offered with devotion culminates in divine grace—Śiva responds by direct presence.
The appearance occurs at the Indrasara/Indreśvara locale being narrated in Adhyāya 19.
Tapas (austerity) is shown as the effective means to please Śiva; the verse itself describes the result—Śiva’s arrival.
