नारद उवाच । अथ ब्रह्मा महादेवमभिवाद्य कृतांजलिः । उद्वाहः क्रियतां देव इत्युवाच महेश्वरम्
nārada uvāca | atha brahmā mahādevamabhivādya kṛtāṃjaliḥ | udvāhaḥ kriyatāṃ deva ityuvāca maheśvaram
Disse Nārada: Então Brahmā, após saudar Mahādeva com as mãos postas, disse a Maheśvara: “Ó Senhor, que se realize o rito do matrimônio.”
Nārada
Scene: Nārada narrates: Brahmā stands with folded hands, salutes Mahādeva, and requests that the marriage rite be performed.
Even the highest gods uphold dharma through proper rites—sacred order is maintained by performing saṃskāras with reverence.
No specific tīrtha is mentioned in this verse; it introduces a ritual moment within the Kaumārikākhaṇḍa narrative.
Udvāha (the marriage rite) is explicitly requested, framed with respectful salutation (abhivādana) and añjali.
