அவள் “ததாஸ்து” என்று உறுதி கூறி விரைவாக அவன் வாயில் புகுந்தாள்—‘ஸம்ஶோஷணீ’ எனும் மகாவித்யை—தபத்தால் பாவிக்கப்பட்ட, கட்டுப்பட்ட ஆத்மையுடைய அந்த ரிஷியில் நிலைபெற்றது।
Narrator (contextual; not explicit in this verse)
Scene: A radiant feminine Vidyā-śakti (Saṃśoṣaṇī) as a subtle flame-like presence enters the mouth of a seated ascetic ṛṣi in meditation; aura of mantra-syllables, rosary, kusa grass, and a consecrated fire nearby; gods faintly visible as witnesses in the sky.
Divine powers abide in a purified practitioner; siddhi is portrayed as the fruit of inner cultivation (bhāvitātman) rather than mere ritual.
The verse supports the chapter’s sacred-geography storyline (tīrtha-māhātmya) by narrating the empowerment that leads to a world-shaping act; no single site is named in the verse.
Acceptance and ‘entry’ of the Saṃśoṣaṇī Mahāvidyā—an idiom for receiving mantra-śakti through divine assent.
