अवारयत त॑ देवी क्रुद्धं पशुपतिं पतिम् । पुत्रत्वमगमद् देव्या वारिते शंकरे च सः
avārayat tāṁ devī kruddhaṁ paśupatiṁ patim | putratvam agamad devyā vārite śaṅkare ca saḥ ||
तेव्हा देवीने क्रुद्ध झालेल्या आपल्या पती पशुपतीला आवरले। देवीने शंकराला रोखताच तो (शुक्राचार्य) देवीचा पुत्रभाव प्राप्त झाला।

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights the ethical primacy of restraint: even immense power (symbolized by Śiva’s wrath) is to be governed by self-control and right ordering (dharma). The goddess’s intervention models the checking of anger so that outcomes align with cosmic and moral balance.
Bhīṣma narrates that Pārvatī stopped her enraged husband Śiva (Paśupati/Śaṅkara). As a consequence of Śiva being restrained, Śukrācārya is said to attain ‘sonship’—i.e., he comes to be regarded or positioned in a filial relation within the unfolding mythic account.
