विबोधयैनं त्वरितमित्युक्त्वान्तर्दधे हरः । नारायणस्य प्रत्यक्षं नरेणानेन वै तदा
vibodhayainaṃ tvaritamityuktvāntardadhe haraḥ | nārāyaṇasya pratyakṣaṃ nareṇānena vai tadā
Setelah bersabda, “Sedarkan dia segera,” Hara (Śiva) pun ghaib. Lalu melalui insan ini, Nārāyaṇa menzahirkan diri secara langsung di hadapan mereka.
Narrator (third-person narrative within Sṛṣṭikhaṇḍa context)
Concept: Divine presence can become directly manifest when the proper catalyst (instrumental devotee/agent) is present and the moment is ripe.
Application: Cultivate readiness—purity, alertness, and prompt response to dharmic instruction—so that grace can ‘arrive’ without delay; honor cooperative sanctity across traditions while keeping one’s iṣṭa-devatā focus steady.

Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"Śiva, having issued a terse command to awaken someone swiftly, dissolves into a swirl of ash-gray radiance, leaving a charged silence.

FAQs
‘Hara’ refers to Śiva. His disappearance (antardadhe) indicates a completed intervention—after giving the crucial instruction, he withdraws, allowing the next divine event to unfold.
It means Nārāyaṇa becomes directly perceivable—an immediate manifestation rather than an inferred or symbolic presence, emphasizing experiential revelation.
Guidance should be acted upon promptly (“awaken him quickly”); timely effort can become the instrument through which higher truth or divine presence becomes evident.
