Eram de garganta azul, de dez braços, de cinco faces e de três olhos—com cabelos emaranhados, brincos, e a lua marcada sobre as coroas.
Narrator (contextual, likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa)
Tirtha: Kedāra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Close-up iconographic tableau: a line of Śiva’s radiant attendants, each bearing Śiva’s own attributes—blue throat, ten arms, five faces, three eyes, matted hair, earrings, crescent moon on the crown.
The attendants of Śiva mirror Śiva’s own sacred marks, emphasizing proximity to divinity through divine service.
Indirectly Kedāra’s Shaiva milieu; the verse is primarily iconographic rather than geographical.
None; it is a descriptive (stuti-like) portrayal of Śiva’s messengers.
