यो वै जगदधिष्ठाता सोधिष्ठातात्र सर्वगः । सर्वदृक्सर्वदः शर्वः कथं न ज्ञायते विभो
yo vai jagadadhiṣṭhātā sodhiṣṭhātātra sarvagaḥ | sarvadṛksarvadaḥ śarvaḥ kathaṃ na jñāyate vibho
జగదధిష్ఠాత యెవడో, ఆయనే ఇక్కడ కూడా అధిష్ఠాత, సర్వవ్యాపి. సర్వదర్శి, సర్వదాత శర్వుడు—ఓ విభో, ఆయన ఎలా తెలియబడడు?
Kārpaṭika
Tirtha: Viśveśvara in Kāśī (implied)
Type: temple
Listener: Rājendra
Scene: A rhetorical, devotional assertion: Śarva is the universal presider and also presides here; the speaker challenges the listener’s lack of recognition.
Recognize Śiva as the universal and local presiding divinity; spiritual blindness is failing to see the ever-present Lord.
Kāśī, as the seat where the universal Lord is explicitly present as the adhiṣṭhātā (Viśveśvara/Śarva).
None explicitly; the verse emphasizes jñāna (recognition) and devotion.
