ഹേ ശിവദേവാ! ഗിരീശാ, മഹേശാ, സർവ്വവ്യാപി വിഭൂ; വൈഭവപ്രദാതാ; ഗിരീശാ, ശിവേശാ, മൃഡാ! ചന്ദ്രധരാ—ത്രിലോകത്തിന് മംഗളം വരുത്തി, ഭക്തിയെ തടയുന്ന ബന്ധനങ്ങൾ നശിപ്പിക്കണമേ।
Aṅgiras
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Audience within Kāśī-māhātmya frame
Scene: Śiva as Giriśa and Śiveśa, crescent moon on matted hair, radiating protective energy over the three worlds; dark knots/ropes symbolizing ‘restraints’ snapping as devotion rises like a flame from the devotee’s heart.
Devotion flourishes when divine grace removes inner and outer impediments; Śiva is invoked as the universal benefactor.
Kāśī is the contextual sacred field, where Śiva is approached as Viśveśvara, remover of obstacles to bhakti.
None directly; it is a prayer (stuti) seeking obstacle-removal and auspiciousness.
