तस्मादिदं मनो भद्रे शिवध्यानैकसाधनम् । शोकमोहसमाविष्टं मा कुरुष्व शिवं भज
tasmādidaṃ mano bhadre śivadhyānaikasādhanam | śokamohasamāviṣṭaṃ mā kuruṣva śivaṃ bhaja
म्हणून हे भद्रे, शिवध्यानाचे एकमेव साधन असलेल्या या मनाला शोक आणि मोहाने ग्रासू देऊ नकोस. शिवाचे भजन कर.
Śiva-yogin (teacher/guru speaking to the queen)
Scene: A serene Śiva-yogin instructs a grief-stricken queen: the yogin’s calm gaze contrasts with her tearful face; the teaching centers on the mind turning inward to Śiva-dhyāna.
Grief and delusion are countered by steady Śiva-meditation and active devotion (bhajana).
No location is mentioned; the verse is pastoral instruction focused on inner practice.
Śiva-bhajana (worship) and Śiva-dhyāna (meditation) are directly prescribed.
