महेश्वर यथा साक्षादपरस्त्वं महेश्वरः । ततः स्मयन्महादेवो जयेति भुवने श्रुतः
maheśvara yathā sākṣādaparastvaṃ maheśvaraḥ | tataḥ smayanmahādevo jayeti bhuvane śrutaḥ
“Wahai Maheśvara, Engkaulah Yang Mahatinggi secara nyata—tiada yang lain selain Engkau, wahai Maheśvara.” Lalu Mahādeva tersenyum dan berseru, “Jaya!”—gema yang terdengar di seluruh alam.
Keśava (first line, praise); narrative voice reports Mahādeva’s response
Supremacy is expressed as non-duality—seeing no ‘other’ beyond the Lord culminates in auspicious victory (jaya) for dharma.
No explicit tīrtha is named; the verse universalizes Śiva’s victory as resounding through all realms.
None; it conveys theological affirmation and the auspicious proclamation of victory.
