Divine voice (Ākāśavāṇī)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra; Nāgabila
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śakra (Indra)
Scene: A sacred field with a prominent anthill; from it, a dark, rounded cave-mouth (Nāgabila) appears, ringed by serpentine motifs; an unseen but palpable Śiva-presence sanctifies the scene.
When Śiva is self-present in a kṣetra, even a humble anthill can become a gateway of grace and purification.
Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra and its Nāgabila (serpent-cavern) are explicitly identified.
Not yet; the verse identifies the place and the sacred feature (Nāgabila) that will be used for the rite.
