with Tīrtha-Merit Teachings
भवता च क्षमा कार्या रुद्रेण सह दैवतैः । कृते युगावसाने तु समाप्तिं चक्रतौ गते
bhavatā ca kṣamā kāryā rudreṇa saha daivataiḥ | kṛte yugāvasāne tu samāptiṃ cakratau gate
Engkau juga hendaklah mengurniakan keampunan, bersama Rudra dan para dewa yang lain, apabila Kṛta Yuga sampai ke penghujungnya dan putaran zaman mencapai penutupnya.
Unspecified (context not provided; verse is framed as an instruction/admonition)
Concept: Kṣamā (forgiveness) is a divine duty, especially at transitions of cosmic time; harmony among devas sustains ṛta/dharma as cycles conclude.
Application: Practice deliberate forgiveness at endings—day’s end, month’s end, relationship repair—so closures are clean and future cycles begin without resentment.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: युगावसाने = युग + अवसाने (षष्ठी-तत्पुरुष). श्लोकपाठे ‘चक्रतौ’ इति रूपं सप्तमी-एकवचन (चक्रे/चक्रतौ) अर्थे; ‘समाप्तिं चक्रतौ गते’ = ‘चक्रे गते (काले)’ इत्यर्थः।
FAQs
It elevates kṣamā (forgiveness/forbearance) as a required virtue, presented as a duty to be practiced in harmony with divine order (Rudra and the devas).

Rudra often represents cosmic transformation and dissolution; invoking him alongside the devas frames forgiveness as part of maintaining or restoring cosmic balance at major temporal turning points.
