ययानिरुद्धः कथित उषायाः पतिरुत्तमः । योगिनीनां वरिष्ठा या महाकालस्य वल्लभा
yayāniruddhaḥ kathita uṣāyāḥ patiruttamaḥ | yoginīnāṃ variṣṭhā yā mahākālasya vallabhā
यया उषायाः पतिरनिरुद्धोऽयमुत्तमः प्रदर्शितः; या योगिनीनां वरिष्ठा; या महाकालस्य प्रिया वल्लभा च।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating (deduced)
Tirtha: Barkareśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Arjuna
Scene: A radiant Yoginī, serene yet formidable, gestures as a revealer—indicating Aniruddha’s presence—while Mahākāla’s aura looms protectively; the scene blends Vaishnava romance-legend with Shaiva tantric sanctity.
It elevates a devotee-attendant through sacred association: devotion, yogic excellence, and proximity to Mahākāla confer renown.
Mahākāla’s sacred sphere is implied, continuing the Mahākāla/Barkareśvara māhātmya framework.
None; it is a descriptive identification of Citralekhā’s fame and status.
