पुत्रि तुष्टास्मि भद्रं ते स्तोत्रेणानेन चानघे । वरं वरय भद्रं ते तव दास्यामि वांछितम्
putri tuṣṭāsmi bhadraṃ te stotreṇānena cānaghe | varaṃ varaya bhadraṃ te tava dāsyāmi vāṃchitam
“Wahai anakku, Aku berkenan kepadamu—semoga sejahtera bagimu—dengan himne ini, wahai yang suci tanpa noda. Pilihlah suatu anugerah; semoga sejahtera bagimu. Aku akan mengurniakan apa yang engkau inginkan.”
Devī (the Goddess, newly manifest)
Tirtha: Nāgara Devī-sthāna
Type: kshetra
Scene: The manifested Goddess, radiant and compassionate, addresses the ascetic woman as ‘daughter,’ offering a boon; the devotee stands with folded hands, eyes lowered in reverence.
Bhakti expressed through hymn and purity of intent draws the Goddess’s pleasure and boon-bestowal.
A Nāgarakhaṇḍa tīrtha where the Goddess becomes pratyakṣa and offers boons (Adhyāya 169).
