बिभ्राणं कुंडलयुगं नीलरत्नमहाहनुम् । नीलग्रीवं महाबाहुं नागहारविराजितम्
bibhrāṇaṃ kuṃḍalayugaṃ nīlaratnamahāhanum | nīlagrīvaṃ mahābāhuṃ nāgahāravirājitam
அவர் இரட்டைக் குண்டலங்களை அணிந்து, நீலரத்தினம் போன்ற மாபெரும் கன்னங்களுடன், நீலகண்டராக, மகாபாஹுவாக, நாகஹாரத்தால் ஒளிர்ந்தார்।
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa in Brāhma Khaṇḍa framing)
Scene: A frontal, temple-icon Śiva: blue-throated, broad-armed, wearing twin kuṇḍalas; cheeks/face gleam like deep-blue gems; a serpent-garland rests across the chest, radiating cool, lapis-like light.
Śiva’s ‘blue throat’ recalls the protection of the worlds; his ornaments signify fearless mastery over poison and death.
