ईश्वर उवाच । महाकाल स्वरूपेण स्थित्वा तीर्थे महोदये । नाशयिष्यामि शत्रून्वः सम्यगाराधितो ह्यहम्
īśvara uvāca | mahākāla svarūpeṇa sthitvā tīrthe mahodaye | nāśayiṣyāmi śatrūnvaḥ samyagārādhito hyaham
Ишвара сказал: «Пребывая в тиртхе Маходая в облике Махакалы, когда Меня почитают должным образом, Я уничтожу ваших врагов».
Īśvara (Śiva/Maheśvara)
Tirtha: Mahodaya Tīrtha
Type: tirtha
Listener: Brāhmaṇas
Scene: Īśvara manifests as Mahākāla at a tīrtha—dark-hued, powerful, time-transcending—standing near sacred waters; brāhmaṇas worship with lamps and bilva leaves as the Lord promises to destroy their enemies.
Proper worship (ārādhana) of Śiva at a sacred locus yields dharmic protection—removing obstacles symbolized as enemies.
Mahodaya Tīrtha within Prabhāsakṣetra (Prabhāsa region).
Sincere and correct ārādhana (worship/propitiation) of Mahākāla-Śiva at Mahodaya Tīrtha.
