एतादृशं महाभीमं दृष्ट्वा देवाः सवासवाः । ध्यायंतं च महादेवं सर्वेषां चाभयप्रदम्
etādṛśaṃ mahābhīmaṃ dṛṣṭvā devāḥ savāsavāḥ | dhyāyaṃtaṃ ca mahādevaṃ sarveṣāṃ cābhayapradam
ଏପରି ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ମହାଭୀମ ଦୃଶ୍ୟ ଦେଖି, ଇନ୍ଦ୍ର ସହିତ ଦେବମାନେ ସମାଧିସ୍ଥ ମହାଦେବଙ୍କୁ ଦର୍ଶନ କଲେ—ଯିଏ ସମସ୍ତଙ୍କୁ ଅଭୟ ଦାନ କରନ୍ତି।
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.
