स्मरात्मानं यदर्थं त्वमुत्पन्नोऽसि महेश्वरात् । साधूनां पालनार्थाय दुष्टसंहरणाय च । सुरविप्रकृते जन्म जीवितं च महात्मनाम्
smarātmānaṃ yadarthaṃ tvamutpanno'si maheśvarāt | sādhūnāṃ pālanārthāya duṣṭasaṃharaṇāya ca | suraviprakṛte janma jīvitaṃ ca mahātmanām
自らの本願を想え——汝がマヘーシュヴァラより生まれた所以は、善き者を護り、悪しき者を滅するためである。諸天とバラモンの安寧のために、偉大なる魂はその誕生も生命も引き受けるのだ。
Keśava (Viṣṇu)
Listener: Skanda (implied)
Scene: An elder deity/guide admonishes Skanda to remember his divine mandate: protect sādhus and destroy the wicked; the cosmic order (dharma) stands behind him like a standard.
Incarnation and power are justified by service to dharma—protecting the good and restraining destructive forces.
No specific sacred geography is cited; the verse teaches the universal puranic mission of divine embodiment.
None; it is an ethical-theological reminder of duty (dharma) rather than a rite.
