अदितिरुवाच । मम पुत्राः सुरश्रेष्ठ हन्यन्ते युधि दानवैः । तत्कुरुष्व गतायासानवध्यान्रणमूर्धनि
aditiruvāca | mama putrāḥ suraśreṣṭha hanyante yudhi dānavaiḥ | tatkuruṣva gatāyāsānavadhyānraṇamūrdhani
अदिती म्हणाली—“हे सुरश्रेष्ठ! युद्धात दानव माझ्या पुत्रांना मारत आहेत; म्हणून त्यांना श्रमरहित व रणाच्या अग्रभागी अवध्य कर.”
Aditi
Type: kshetra
Scene: Aditi, earnest and distressed yet composed, petitions Śiva for her sons’ strength; in the background, a stylized battlefield of devas and dānavas is hinted, while the liṅga remains the calm axis of power.
A devotee seeks divine power not for vanity but to restore dharma and protect the righteous from oppression.
The request is made in the presence of the manifested liṅga at Amareśvara, situating the boon within that tīrtha’s potency.
No ritual is prescribed; the verse records the specific boon sought—freedom from fatigue and invincibility in battle.
