Translation

ผู้ควรแก่การสรรเสริญของเหล่าเทวะ คือ “พีชะแห่งเทวะ” อันสูงสุด—พรหมันผู้ปรากฏเป็นรูป—ได้บรรลุสภาพเป็นพฤกษาพรหมอันศักดิ์สิทธิ์แล้ว ในรูปแห่งสถาณุ (พระผู้มั่นคง) พึงบูชาทุกวันด้วยศรัทธา; เมื่อบูชาในกาลจาตุรมาสยะ ย่อมเป็นผู้ทำลายบาปได้

FAQs

Faithful daily service to the divine—seen even in sacred tree-form—purifies the heart; Cāturmāsya intensifies that purification into pāpa-kṣaya.

The teaching is embedded in the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra māhātmya within the Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s Tīrthamāhātmya.

Daily service/worship (sevā) with śraddhā, especially during Cāturmāsya; veneration of the sacred tree-form associated with Sthāṇu.
