भालनेत्रा नीलगलाः शुद्धांगा वृषभध्वजाः । असंख्याताः सहस्राणि ये रुद्रा अधिभूतलम्
bhālanetrā nīlagalāḥ śuddhāṃgā vṛṣabhadhvajāḥ | asaṃkhyātāḥ sahasrāṇi ye rudrā adhibhūtalam
ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਮੱਥੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਨੇਤਰ ਹੈ, ਗਲਾ ਨੀਲਾ ਹੈ, ਅੰਗ ਸ਼ੁੱਧ ਹਨ, ਅਤੇ ਧਵਜ ਵ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਭ ਦਾ ਹੈ। ਧਰਾਤਲ ਉੱਤੇ ਰੁਦ੍ਰਾਂ ਦੇ ਅਸੰਖ੍ਯ ਹਜ਼ਾਰਾਂ ਸਮੂਹ ਹਨ।

Tirtha: Kāśī as Rudra-bhūmi (Rudra-sannidhāna)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A vast assembly of Rudras fills the sacred landscape—each with a blazing forehead-eye, blue throat, immaculate body, and bull-banner insignia—extending beyond count across the earth-plane.
The sacred realm is saturated with Śiva’s living presence—manifest as innumerable Rudra forms—inviting reverence and inner purification.
The broader sacred region being described in Adhyāya 14 (Kāśī’s Īśāna-related domain), portrayed as filled with Rudra manifestations.
None; the verse is primarily a glorifying description of Rudra-forms.
