विचरंति सुरूपं तं संजातविस्मयोन्मुखाः । मुनीश्वराः कृपाविष्टा इन्द्राद्या हृष्टमानसाः । स्तुतिमारेभिरे कर्त्तुं तेजसा तस्य तोषिताः

Translation

ครั้นผู้มีรูปงามนั้นดำเนินไปมา เหล่ามุนีผู้ยิ่งใหญ่เงยพักตร์ด้วยความพิศวง และถูกความกรุณาแผ่ซ่าน ส่วนพระอินทร์และเทพทั้งหลายก็ปีติในดวงใจ พอใจด้วยเดชานุภาพของท่าน จึงเริ่มขับสรรเสริญเป็นบทสโตตรา

FAQs

True darśana culminates in stuti—when the heart is moved by divine splendor, praise naturally arises.

The verse functions within the chapter’s tīrtha-māhātmya frame, emphasizing the sacred event (darśana and stuti) rather than a named geography in this line.

The implied devotional act is stuti (hymnic praise); no formal rite like snāna or dāna is specified here.
