तत्र स्थाने तु यो भक्त्या कुरुते ह्यङ्गगुण्ठनम् । तस्य यत्फलमुद्दिष्टं तच्छृणुष्व नराधिप
tatra sthāne tu yo bhaktyā kurute hyaṅgaguṇṭhanam | tasya yatphalamuddiṣṭaṃ tacchṛṇuṣva narādhipa
Di tempat suci itu, sesiapa yang dengan bhakti menyapukan/menyelubungi anggota tubuh dengan bhasma (abu suci)—dengarlah, wahai raja manusia, akan buah yang telah dinyatakan bagi amalan itu.
Śrī Mārkaṇḍeya
Type: kshetra
Listener: Narādhipa (king)
Scene: Inside a Śiva shrine near the Revā, a devotee reverently smears sacred ash over limbs while a sage narrates the promised fruit to a king.
Bhakti-filled observance transforms a physical act into dharma, making it worthy of scriptural फल (spiritual fruit).
The same sacred locale of Bhūtīśvara, where the rite is to be performed.
Aṅga-guṇṭhana—covering/anointing the body, understood here in context as applying sacred ash at the tīrtha.
