ब्रह्मोवाच । नीलकंठ महादेव दुःखनाशाभयप्रद । शृणु त्वं दुःखमस्माकं भवतो यद्वदाम्यहम्
brahmovāca | nīlakaṃṭha mahādeva duḥkhanāśābhayaprada | śṛṇu tvaṃ duḥkhamasmākaṃ bhavato yadvadāmyaham
ब्रह्मा म्हणाले—“हे नीलकंठ महादेव, दुःखनाशक, अभयप्रद! मी जे सांगतो ते ऐका—हे आमचे सर्वांचे दुःख आहे।”
Brahmā
Scene: Brahmā addresses Nīlakaṇṭha with folded hands; Shiva’s throat bears the blue mark; the devas stand behind Brahmā, seeking refuge.
Taking refuge in the Lord as the remover of grief and granter of fearlessness is a core Purāṇic dharma.
No specific tirtha is named in this verse; it functions as a reverent address within Dharmāraṇya’s sacred narrative.
None explicitly; the verse models śaraṇāgati (seeking refuge) through praise and truthful speech.
