इदं विघ्नं समुत्पन्नं दुर्निवार्यं सुरैरपि । तस्मादानय लिंगं त्वं स्वगृहं वैश्यसत्त्
idaṃ vighnaṃ samutpannaṃ durnivāryaṃ surairapi | tasmādānaya liṃgaṃ tvaṃ svagṛhaṃ vaiśyasatt
“ଏହି ବିଘ୍ନ ଉତ୍ପନ୍ନ ହୋଇଛି; ଦେବମାନେ ମଧ୍ୟ ଏହାକୁ ନିବାରଣ କରିବା କଷ୍ଟକର। ତେଣୁ, ହେ ଶ୍ରେଷ୍ଠ ବୈଶ୍ୟ, ଲିଙ୍ଗକୁ ନିଜ ଘରକୁ ଆଣ।”
Viprāḥ (Brahmin counselors) speaking (within Sūta’s narration)
Tirtha: Kedāra-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The brāhmaṇas deliver a decisive verdict: a grave ‘vighna’ has arisen; they instruct the Vaiśya to bring the liṅga to his home. Nandī listens, startled yet relieved to have a path.
When obstacles arise, dharmic counsel may redirect worship while still preserving reverence for Śiva.
Kedāra-kṣetra; the narrative revolves around the Kedāra Śiva-liṅga and its safeguarding.
A prescribed action in response to vighna: relocating the liṅga to one’s home for proper establishment and worship.
