इति स्तुत्वा महादेवं निपेतुर्दंडवत्क्षितौ । प्रत्युवाच तदा शंभुर्वरदोऽस्मि किमिच्छति
iti stutvā mahādevaṃ nipeturdaṃḍavatkṣitau | pratyuvāca tadā śaṃbhurvarado'smi kimicchati
Tendo assim louvado Mahādeva, prostraram-se na terra como um bastão, em reverência total. Então Śambhu respondeu: «Sou o doador de bênçãos; o que desejais?»
Narrator (contextual), then Śiva (Śambhu)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya (implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: After the hymn, the gods fall in full prostration; Śambhu, calm and compassionate, speaks the boon-offering words, hand raised in abhaya/varada mudrā.
Reverent surrender (full prostration) and heartfelt praise draw divine grace and a compassionate response.
No single tirtha is named in this verse; it frames a sacred encounter in the Dharmāraṇya setting.
Daṇḍavat-praṇāma (full-body prostration) is exemplified as a devotional act.
