นางทูลว่า “หากพระองค์ทรงพอพระทัยในข้าพระองค์ โอ้เทพเจ้า โอ้พระศศิเศขระผู้ทรงจันทร์เป็นมงกุฎ ขอประทานบุตรแก่ข้าพระองค์ ผู้มีกำลังยิ่งกว่าทวยเทพทั้งปวง เป็นผู้รับส่วนแห่งยัญญะ และเป็นผู้ทำลายทิฐิมานะของเหล่าเทพ”

FAQs

Boons sought from the divine can be colored by rivalry; Purāṇic dharma warns that power without humility becomes a cause of further conflict.

Indirectly the kṣetra where Śiva became pleased; the verse itself focuses on the boon-request rather than naming the tīrtha.

Reference is made to yajñabhāga (sacrificial portions), but no specific rite is prescribed—only the desired outcome of ritual entitlement.
