तृतीयस्तिष्ठतेऽद्यापि रक्तशृंगः स्मृतोऽत्र यः । तमानय सहस्राक्ष बिलं सार्पं प्रपूरय
tṛtīyastiṣṭhate'dyāpi raktaśṛṃgaḥ smṛto'tra yaḥ | tamānaya sahasrākṣa bilaṃ sārpaṃ prapūraya
इथे तिसराही आजवर उभा आहे, जो ‘रक्तशृंग’ म्हणून स्मरणात आहे। हे सहस्राक्ष (इंद्रा)! त्याला आण आणि सर्पबिल भरून टाक।
Unnamed narrator (instruction addressed to Indra within the story)
Tirtha: Raktśṛṅga
Type: peak
Listener: Śakra (Indra)
Scene: Raktśṛṅga stands with a vivid red summit; Indra (thousand-eyed) is commanded to bring/position the mountain to fill a yawning serpent-cavern—dark, coiling forms hinted within the cave mouth.
Sacred landscapes are protected through divinely guided acts; even Indra is enlisted to uphold the stability of a tīrtha-region.
Nāga-bila (the serpent-cavern) within the Hāṭakeśvara sacred region is foregrounded.
No devotional rite; a mythic directive is given—bring Raktaśṛṅga to fill/close the Nāga-bila.
