यां गतिं यांति वै शंभो सर्वे सुकृतिनोपि हि । तां गतिं दर्शनात्सर्वे श्वपचा अधमा अपि
yāṃ gatiṃ yāṃti vai śaṃbho sarve sukṛtinopi hi | tāṃ gatiṃ darśanātsarve śvapacā adhamā api
О Шамбху, то состояние, которого достигают даже все добродетельные,— одним лишь даршаном достигают его все, даже варящие собачье мясо и самые низкие.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedāranātha)
Type: kshetra
Scene: At the Kedāra shrine, a diverse crowd—ascetics, householders, and marginalized figures—gazes upon Śiva’s presence; a luminous path or aura symbolizes the ‘same gati’ granted by darśana alone.
In a tīrtha-mahātmya frame, divine darśana is portrayed as universally elevating, surpassing conventional distinctions.
The teaching belongs to Kedāra-khaṇḍa, reinforcing Kedāra’s fame for granting exalted spiritual destinations through sacred encounter.
Darśana (reverent viewing/encounter) is identified as the key efficacious act yielding the highest gati.
