आगताश्च ततो देवा ब्रह्माद्याश्च सवासवाः । हृष्टास्तुष्टाश्च ते सर्वे प्रणेमुः पार्वतीपतिम्
āgatāśca tato devā brahmādyāśca savāsavāḥ | hṛṣṭāstuṣṭāśca te sarve praṇemuḥ pārvatīpatim
त्यानंतर ब्रह्मा आदि सर्व देव, इंद्रासह, तेथे आले। सर्वजण हर्षित व संतुष्ट होऊन पार्वतीपती महेश्वरास प्रणाम करू लागले।
Mārkaṇḍeya (narrative voice continuing)
Scene: A radiant assembly of Brahmā, Indra, and the devas arriving in the sky, hands folded, bowing to Śiva (Pārvatīpati) seated or standing with serene majesty.
Even the highest devas honor Śiva; reverence (praṇāma) is the natural response to divine protection and restoration of order.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse sets the stage for subsequent pilgrimage (tīrtha-yātrā) themes in the chapter.
The act implied is praṇāma (salutation), a basic devotional observance.
