ये दक्षिणा मूर्त्तिमुपाश्रिताः स्युर्जपंति नित्यं शतरुद्रियं द्विजाः । तेऽस्मिन्भवे नैव पुनर्भवंति संसारपारं परमं गता वै
ye dakṣiṇā mūrttimupāśritāḥ syurjapaṃti nityaṃ śatarudriyaṃ dvijāḥ | te'sminbhave naiva punarbhavaṃti saṃsārapāraṃ paramaṃ gatā vai
南方の御姿に帰依し、日々「シャタルドリーヤ」を誦する二度生まれ(ドヴィジャ)たちは、この生において再び生を受けることなく、まことに輪廻を超えた至上の彼岸へと到る。
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Someśvara/Somnātha at Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Scene: A serene Dakṣiṇāmūrti beneath a banyan, facing south, with dvija-sages seated in rows chanting Śatarudrīya; in the distance the Somnātha liṅga and the sea-breeze of Prabhāsa, suggesting the ‘far shore’ beyond saṃsāra.
Daily Vedic japa performed with refuge in Dakṣiṇāmūrti is praised as leading beyond rebirth to the supreme state.
