खरस्वनो घर्घरवाक्तथा मौनप्रियः सदा । मल्लिकाक्षश्च एतेषां प्रणतो द्वारपालकः
kharasvano ghargharavāktathā maunapriyaḥ sadā | mallikākṣaśca eteṣāṃ praṇato dvārapālakaḥ
カラースヴァナ、ガルガラヴァーク、そして常に沈黙を愛するマウナプリヤ。さらにマッリカー クシャは敬って頭を垂れ、彼らの門衛として仕える。
Skanda (deduced from Dvārakā Māhātmya narrative style within Skanda Purāṇa)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: At the gate, three guardians associated with harsh/rumbling sounds stand vigilant, while Maunapriya embodies serene silence; Mallikākṣa, hands folded, stands as chief doorkeeper in reverent posture.
Service and humility (praṇati) are upheld even among powerful guardians, modeling dharma through reverent duty.
Dvārakā, whose gates are described as protected by appointed dvārapālas.
No explicit rite; the verse highlights the presence and posture (praṇata) of the gatekeeper.
