നാരദൻ പറഞ്ഞു—ഗിരീശനായ ശിവനുവേണ്ടി അവിടെ അനുഷ്ഠിച്ച തപസ്സുകൊണ്ട് ആ പർവ്വതം ദീപ്തമായി. സ്വാധ്യായപരരായ വിപ്രന്മാരുടെ വേദപാരായണത്തിന്റെ ഗംഭീരവും വിശാലവുമായ ഘോഷം എല്ലാടവും മുഴങ്ങിക്കൊണ്ടിരുന്നു.

Educational Q&A

The verse highlights a dharmic ideal: sacred places become spiritually luminous through tapas (disciplined austerity) and svādhyāya (Vedic self-study). Devotion is shown not merely as emotion but as sustained practice—worship, learning, and reverent sound that sanctifies the environment.

Nārada describes a mountain associated with Girīśa (Śiva). Because of austerities performed there, the mountain appears splendid, and the atmosphere is filled with the reverberating Vedic recitation of brāhmaṇas devoted to svādhyāya.
