दधार गर्भं चटिका तपोमूर्तिधरा यथा । तस्य गर्भस्य वर्षाणि चत्वारि किल संययुः
dadhāra garbhaṃ caṭikā tapomūrtidharā yathā | tasya garbhasya varṣāṇi catvāri kila saṃyayuḥ
चटिकेने जणू तपस्येची मूर्तीच धारण केली असा गर्भ धारण केला। म्हणतात, त्या गर्भाला चार वर्षे पूर्ण झाली.
Nārada
The fruit of tapas can manifest in extraordinary ways, suggesting that divine boons may unfold beyond ordinary expectations.
The setting continues to be Vārāṇasī (Kāśī), where the devotee’s Rudra-japa and Śiva’s boon take effect.
None directly; the verse describes an exceptional gestation as part of the sacred narrative.
