ពួកគេបានប្រកាសថា «ជ័យជំនះដល់ព្រះសម្ភុ!» ហើយបានទៅដល់ភ្នំព្រះសម្ភុ។ ចូលទៅទីនោះដោយសេចក្តីរីករាយ ពួកគេបានបន្លឺសូរសព្ទមង្គល ឲ្យកង្វះកង្វាយស្ទើរទាំងទីកន្លែង។

Sthala Purana: ‘Śambhu-parvata’ is presented as Śiva’s own mountain-abode where devotees arrive proclaiming jaya; the verse functions as an arrival-at-kṣetra motif rather than a specific Jyotirliṅga legend.
Significance: Entering Śiva’s kṣetra with ‘jaya-śabda’ and maṅgala-dhvani is portrayed as auspicious and grace-inviting (anugraha).
Mantra: शंभोर्जयम् (śaṃbhor jayam)
Type: stotra
FAQs
The verse highlights bhakti expressed as nāma-kīrtana—uttering “Jaya Śambhu”—which purifies the mind and sanctifies the pilgrimage space, making entry into Śiva’s abode an inward movement toward grace and auspiciousness.
“Śambhu” here points to Saguna Śiva, approachable through praise and auspicious acclamation; such devotional utterance prepares the devotee to behold and worship Śiva in sacred places—often centered on the Liṅga as the accessible focus of presence.
A practical takeaway is japa or kīrtana of Śiva-nāma (e.g., “Jaya Śambho” or the Pañcākṣarī ‘Om Namaḥ Śivāya’) while entering a temple or tīrtha, maintaining a joyful, maṅgala-bhāva as a form of devotion.
