तर्हि त्वां प्रवृणोम्यद्धा वरं मदभिकांक्षितम् । जरापलितदेहोहं कुत्रचिद्गंतुमक्षमः
tarhi tvāṃ pravṛṇomyaddhā varaṃ madabhikāṃkṣitam | jarāpalitadehohaṃ kutracidgaṃtumakṣamaḥ
Maka sesungguhnya aku memilih daripada-Mu anugerah yang amat kuidamkan. Aku telah tua; tubuhku uzur dan beruban; aku tidak mampu mengembara ke mana-mana.
Sucharita
Scene: An aged sage with grey hair and stooped body petitions Mahādeva for a boon, expressing inability to travel; the setting is a sacred mountain near the Setu landscape.
When physical capacity fails, devotion and divine aid can still fulfill dharmic aspirations.
Indirectly Setu’s sacred narrative space, where Śiva will arrange access to tīrtha-merit.
None yet; it motivates a boon related to pilgrimage and sacred bathing.
