दाक्षयज्ञप्रस्थान-प्रश्नः
Satī Inquires about the Departure for Dakṣa’s Sacrifice
सर्वथासीन्महाशोभा गमने जागदम्बिके । सुखारावस्संबभूव पूरितं भुवनत्रयम्
sarvathāsīnmahāśobhā gamane jāgadambike | sukhārāvassaṃbabhūva pūritaṃ bhuvanatrayam
Tatkala Jagadambikā berangkat, keindahan agung terserlah dalam segala cara. Sorak-sorai yang gembira lagi bertuah pun bangkit, memenuhi tiga alam dengan gema itu.
Suta Goswami (narrating to the sages at Naimisharanya)
Tattva Level: pati
Shiva Form: Umāpati
Sthala Purana: Not a Jyotirliṅga episode; the verse portrays the cosmic auspiciousness (maṅgala-dhvani) that fills the three worlds as the Mother of the Universe sets forth—an archetype for śakti’s beneficent presence.
Significance: Affirms that Śiva-Śakti’s movements are cosmic events; hearing/participating in such maṅgala-śabda (auspicious acclaim) is meritorious and purifying.
Shakti Form: Jagadambikā
Role: nurturing
Offering: dipa
Cosmic Event: The ‘three worlds filled with sound’ frames the journey as a cosmic-scale auspicious event (maṅgala-dhvani pervading bhuvana-traya).
FAQs
The verse presents the Devi as Jagadambikā whose movement itself becomes a cosmic auspiciousness—her śakti harmonizes the three worlds, indicating that divine presence produces inner and outer mangala (blessedness) for devotees.
In Shaiva understanding, Shiva (Pati) and Shakti are inseparable; the ‘joyous sound filling the three worlds’ points to Saguna worship where the devotee experiences palpable auspicious signs—supporting devotional reverence to Shiva-Linga as the living axis of grace accompanied by the Devi’s power.
Take the verse as a cue for mangala-bhāvanā: begin worship with audible japa of the Panchākṣarī “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” and a short prayer to Jagadambikā, cultivating the feeling that the heart-space is being ‘filled’ with auspicious sound and peace.
