निशम्येति वचो मातुरतिह्रीणा गिरींद्रजा । आसाद्यावसरं शंभुं नत्वा गौरी व्यजिज्ञपत्
niśamyeti vaco māturatihrīṇā girīṃdrajā | āsādyāvasaraṃ śaṃbhuṃ natvā gaurī vyajijñapat
मातुर्वचो निशम्य अतिह्रीणा गिरीन्द्रजा; अवसरं प्राप्य शम्भुं नत्वा गौरी व्यजिज्ञपत्।
Skanda
Listener: Agastya
Scene: Gaurī, shy from her mother’s questions, finds a moment with Śambhu, bows, and respectfully conveys her request—an intimate devotional domestic scene.
Reverence (namaskāra) and humility open the way for divine communication and guidance.
Not explicit; the verse is part of a Kāśīkhaṇḍa narrative sequence.
Bowing/obeisance (natvā) to Śiva as a devotional act preceding one’s request.
