Tūlādhāra–Jājali: Faith, Non-harm, and Renunciation of Rivalry

स्थाणुरुवाच संहारार्थ प्रसीदस्व मा क्रुधो विबुधेश्वर । मा प्रजा: स्थावरं चैव जड़म॑ च व्यनीनशत्‌,महादेवजीने कहा--देवेश्वर! संहारके लिये आप क्रोध न करें। प्रजापर प्रसन्न हों। कहीं ऐसा न हो कि समस्त चराचर प्राणियोंका विनाश हो जाय

Sthāṇur uvāca: saṃhārārthaṃ prasīdasva mā krudho vibudheśvara | mā prajāḥ sthāvaraṃ caiva jaḍaṃ ca vyāninaśat ||

స్థాణువు పలికెను—దేవేశ్వరా! సంహారార్థమైయినా కోపపడకుము; ప్రసన్నుడవు. ఎక్కడ సమస్త ప్రజలు—చరాచరములు, జడములు సహితంగా—పూర్తిగా నశించిపోకూడదు।

Educational Q&A

Even when destruction seems justified, righteous governance of power requires restraint: anger must be checked and compassion extended to all beings, so that punishment or dissolution does not become total, indiscriminate annihilation.

A divine figure addressed as Vibudheśvara is being urged to calm down. Sthāṇu petitions him to abandon wrath intended for ‘saṃhāra’ (destruction), warning that unchecked anger could wipe out all existence—movable and immovable, even the inert.
