देवदवस्ततः प्राह देवि पश्य गिरींद्रजे । साधूनामीदृशी बुद्धिः परोपकरणोर्जिता
devadavastataḥ prāha devi paśya girīṃdraje | sādhūnāmīdṛśī buddhiḥ paropakaraṇorjitā
అప్పుడు దేవదేవుడు దేవితో ఇలా అన్నాడు—“హే గిరీంద్రజే, చూడు; సాధువుల బుద్ధి ఇలాంటిదే, పరోపకారశక్తితో మహోన్నతమవుతుంది।”
Śiva
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva turns to Pārvatī (Giri-indra-jā) and points out Sulakṣaṇā as an exemplar; the gesture is instructive, calm, and affectionate.
Saintliness is measured by a mind trained for others’ welfare; paropakāra is the hallmark of sādhus.
The instruction occurs within Kāśīkhaṇḍa (Kāśī), where Śiva’s teachings define the dharmic culture of the sacred city.
None; it is a doctrinal praise of paropakāra as a spiritual attainment.
