एतादृशं महाभीमं दृष्ट्वा देवाः सवासवाः । ध्यायंतं च महादेवं सर्वेषां चाभयप्रदम्
etādṛśaṃ mahābhīmaṃ dṛṣṭvā devāḥ savāsavāḥ | dhyāyaṃtaṃ ca mahādevaṃ sarveṣāṃ cābhayapradam
Melihat pemandangan yang amat dahsyat dan menggetarkan itu, para dewa bersama Indra menyaksikan Mahādeva tenggelam dalam dhyāna, Sang Penganugeraha tanpa takut kepada semua.
Narrator (Purāṇic voice; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa)
Tirtha: Kailāsa
Type: peak
Scene: The devas with Indra stand at a respectful distance, beholding Mahādeva seated in profound meditation—terrible in majesty yet radiating protection; the atmosphere is charged with stillness.
Even the gods seek the shelter of Mahādeva; his meditation signifies supreme protection and fearlessness.
The narrative setting remains Dharmāraṇya; the holiness is expressed through Śiva’s presence there.
No explicit ritual; the verse highlights darśana (beholding) of the meditating Lord as spiritually protective.
