Śiva-nāmānukīrtana-prastāvaḥ
Prologue to the praise of Śiva and the Upamanyu testimony
त॑ चाह भगवांस्तुष्टो ग्रन्थकारो भविष्यसि । वत्साक्षया च ते कीर्तिस्त्रिलोक्ये वै भविष्यति
taṁ cāha bhagavāṁs tuṣṭo granthakāro bhaviṣyasi | vatsākṣayā ca te kīrtis trilokye vai bhaviṣyati ||
ព្រះអម្ចាស់ដ៏មានព្រះភាគ ទ្រង់ពេញព្រះហឫទ័យចំពោះគាត់ ហើយមានព្រះវាចា៖ «កូនអើយ! អ្នកនឹងក្លាយជាអ្នកនិពន្ធគម្ពីរពិសិដ្ឋ ហើយកិត្តិយសរបស់អ្នកនឹងមិនរលាយ—នឹងល្បីសាយភាយទៅទូទាំងត្រីលោក។»
वासुदेव उवाच
The verse presents a dharmic ideal: sincere conduct that pleases the divine (or the venerable authority) results in lasting merit—here symbolized by the blessing of becoming a respected author and attaining imperishable fame across the three worlds.
A revered figure, pleased with the addressed person, grants a boon: the person will become a granthakāra (composer/author), and their renown will be akṣayā (imperishable), extending throughout triloka (the three worlds).
