कपर्द्धिनं चंद्रकलाविभूषणं वेदांतवेद्यं परमात्मनि स्थितम् । ववंद शीर्ष्णा च तदा हिमाचलः परां मुदं प्रापदहीनसत्त्वः
kaparddhinaṃ caṃdrakalāvibhūṣaṇaṃ vedāṃtavedyaṃ paramātmani sthitam | vavaṃda śīrṣṇā ca tadā himācalaḥ parāṃ mudaṃ prāpadahīnasattvaḥ
ਤਦ ਹਿਮਾਚਲ ਨੇ ਉਸ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੂੰ ਸੀਸ ਨਿਵਾਇਆ—ਜਟਾਧਾਰੀ, ਚੰਦ੍ਰਕਲਾ ਨਾਲ ਸੁਸ਼ੋਭਿਤ, ਵੇਦਾਂਤ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਜਾਣਿਆ ਜਾਣ ਵਾਲਾ, ਪਰਮਾਤਮਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਡੋਲ ਸਥਿਤ। ਅਡਿੱਗ ਚਿੱਤ ਨਾਲ ਉਹ ਪਰਮ ਆਨੰਦ ਨੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਹੋਇਆ।
Sūta (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedāranātha)
Type: kshetra

Reverence (praṇāma) to Śiva—who is both personal Lord and Vedāntic Reality—yields supreme inner joy.
The Kedāra Himalayan sphere, where Śiva’s ascetic-majestic form is contemplated and worshipped.
