धन्यानि च ममास्थीनि यानि देवेश ते हितम् । करिष्यंति सदा कार्यं रक्षार्थं त्रिदिवौकसाम्
dhanyāni ca mamāsthīni yāni deveśa te hitam | kariṣyaṃti sadā kāryaṃ rakṣārthaṃ tridivaukasām
Блаженны мои кости, о Владыка богов, ибо они всегда будут совершать твоё благодеяние — ради защиты обитателей небес.
Dadhīci
Scene: A serene great seer speaks with calm resolve before the Lord of gods, declaring his bones blessed for the protection of heaven; the atmosphere is solemn, luminous, and heroic.
Even the body becomes sacred when offered for the protection of others and the maintenance of dharma.
This verse is part of tīrtha-mahātmya narration but primarily glorifies the act of dāna and the sanctity of self-offering, not a named tīrtha.
The theme is dāna at its highest form (self-gift), framed as service to devas and protection of the worlds.
