तेन शब्देन महता विस्मिता नगनंदिनी । शंकरं प्राह को देव नादोऽयमतिवर्तते
tena śabdena mahatā vismitā naganaṃdinī | śaṃkaraṃ prāha ko deva nādo'yamativartate
तेन महता शब्देन विस्मिता नगनन्दिनी । शङ्करं प्राह—को देव नादोऽयमतिवर्तते ॥

Divine signs invite inquiry and instruction; sacred narrative often unfolds through reverent questioning.
No site is named; the verse centers on the cosmic omen and the Śiva–Pārvatī dialogue.
