Educational Q&A
The verse models dharmic devotion: true approach to the divine begins with inner restraint (niyataḥ) and outward humility (prostration). Ethical power is grounded in self-mastery and reverence, not entitlement.
Kṛṣṇa, after controlling his mind, bows and prostrates before Śiva—described as a concentrated mass of radiance—and, filled with joy, begins to speak to him, setting up the ensuing dialogue about Śiva’s grace and glory.
