आगंतव्यं त्वया नित्यं दर्शनार्थं ममाचल । कुमारीं च गृहे स्थाप्य नान्यथा मम दर्शनम्
āgaṃtavyaṃ tvayā nityaṃ darśanārthaṃ mamācala | kumārīṃ ca gṛhe sthāpya nānyathā mama darśanam
«Ó Acala, deves vir todos os dias para o meu darśana. E, tendo deixado a donzela em casa, só então terás a minha visão; de outro modo, não.»
Śiva (Maheśvara)
Tirtha: Kedāra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Implied sages/devotees
Scene: Śiva instructs Himācala with calm authority: ‘Come daily for my darśana; place the maiden at home—otherwise no darśana.’ The tone is firm yet compassionate, emphasizing order.
Divine grace (darśana) is tied to niyama—disciplined, respectful conduct and obedience to dharmic instruction.
Kedāra-region context (Kedārakhaṇḍa); the verse emphasizes darśana-dharma rather than naming a specific tīrtha.
A behavioral observance: daily coming for darśana, and keeping the maiden at home (a rule of propriety).
