vidhivanniyamaṃ kṛtvā śāstrayuktyā narottama | ārādhayanmahādevamekacittaḥ sanātanam
ಓ ನರೋತ್ತಮ, ವಿಧಿವಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರಾನುಸಾರ ನಿಯಮವ್ರತಗಳನ್ನು ಮಾಡಿ, ಏಕಚಿತ್ತದಿಂದ ಸನಾತನ ಮಹಾದೇವನನ್ನು ಆರಾಧಿಸಿದನು.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration; likely Sūta)
Tirtha: Kāverī–Narmadā-saṅgama (Śiva-sannidhi)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Naroत्तama/Nṛpa (king addressed)
Scene: Kubera, purified, performs Śiva-pūjā before a liṅga: offering bilva leaves, water, and lamps; his posture is steady and focused, indicating ekacitta worship.
Devotion bears fruit when joined to śāstra-guided discipline (niyama) and one-pointed concentration.
The setting remains the tīrtha at the Kāverī–Narmadā saṅgama, where worship is performed after purification.
Undertaking niyama ‘vidhivat’ (properly) and worshipping Mahādeva with ekāgratā (single-minded focus).
