គួរស្រមៃមណ្ឌលព្រះអាទិត្យ ដូចផ្កាឈូកនៅកណ្ដាល ហ៊ុំព័ទ្ធដោយស្មៅដರ್ಭៈ និងវត្ថុបរិសុទ្ធផ្សេងៗ; ហើយនៅកណ្ដាលមណ្ឌលព្រះចន្ទ គួរធ្វើសមាធិលើមណ្ឌលភ្លើងដ៏រុងរឿង។
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Listener: King (nṛpa) implied in nearby verses of the sequence
Scene: A sanctum interior where the worshipper’s mind projects concentric maṇḍalas: a lotus-solar disc ringed with darbha, a cool lunar disc within, and a radiant fire-disc at the core, hovering above a liṅga altar.
Worship aligns the devotee with cosmic principles—sun, moon, and fire—internalized through disciplined visualization.
No specific tīrtha is named; the focus is on the meditative framework used in Shaiva ritual.
Perform maṇḍala-dhyāna: visualize solar, lunar, and fiery circles arranged in the prescribed inner order.
