एक एव परं ज्योतिस्तेषामपि च यन्महः । त्रैलोक्यनाथो विश्वात्मा शंकरो लोकशंकरः
eka eva paraṃ jyotisteṣāmapi ca yanmahaḥ | trailokyanātho viśvātmā śaṃkaro lokaśaṃkaraḥ
“Só Ele é a Luz suprema; o Seu esplendor é a glória até mesmo dos deuses. Śaṅkara é o Senhor dos três mundos, a Alma do universo—o benfeitor que traz bem-estar aos mundos.”
Nārada (continuation)
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pārvatī
Scene: A vast column of light rising beyond the Himalayan skyline, within which Śaṅkara is intuited as the universe’s Self; devas’ radiance appears as sparks from that single splendor.
All divine powers shine by the Supreme Light of Śiva, who sustains and blesses the entire cosmos.
Kedāra’s Śaiva landscape is the textual setting; the verse itself glorifies Śaṅkara universally as the Light and Lord of all realms.
None.
