Śiva-darśana through Tapas and Stuti (उपमन्यु–कृष्ण संवादः)
(दाक्षिणात्य पाठके ४ श्लोक मिलाकर कुल ४३३ श्लोक हैं) मी पी नजजञन जल ि्जजऑआंडहडइ > गार्हपत्य
śrīkṛṣṇa uvāca
mūrdhnā nipatya niyatastejaḥ-saṃnicaye tataḥ |
parama-harṣam āgatya bhagavantam athābruvam ||
श्रीकृष्ण म्हणाले—हे भारत! त्यानंतर मन संयमित करून, तेजोराशीस्वरूप भगवान् शिवांना मस्तक झुकवून साष्टांग प्रणाम केला. मग परम हर्षाने भरून मी त्या भगवंतास असे म्हणालो।
श्रीकृष्ण उवाच
The verse models dharmic devotion: true approach to the divine begins with inner restraint (niyataḥ) and outward humility (prostration). Ethical power is grounded in self-mastery and reverence, not entitlement.
Kṛṣṇa, after controlling his mind, bows and prostrates before Śiva—described as a concentrated mass of radiance—and, filled with joy, begins to speak to him, setting up the ensuing dialogue about Śiva’s grace and glory.
