The Disruption of Dakṣa’s Sacrifice, the Hari–Hara Conflict, and the Establishment of Rudra’s Sacrificial Share
नमस्त्रिनेत्रार्त्तिहाराय शम्भो त्रिशूलपाणे विकृतास्यरूप । समस्तदेवेश्वर शुद्धभाव प्रसीद रुद्राच्युत सर्वभाव ॥ २१.६८ ॥
namas trinetrārttiharāya śambho triśūlapāṇe vikṛtāsyarūpa | samastadeveśvara śuddhabhāva prasīda rudrācyuta sarvabhāva || 21.68 ||
ขอนอบน้อมแด่พระองค์ โอ้ศัมภุ ผู้มีสามเนตร ผู้ขจัดความทุกข์ โอ้ผู้ทรงตรีศูล ผู้มีพระพักตร์อันน่าเกรงขามหลากรูป โอ้จอมเทพแห่งเทพทั้งปวง ผู้มีภาวะอันบริสุทธิ์ ขอทรงเมตตา โอ้รุทระ โอ้อจยุต ผู้ทรงสภาวะครอบคลุมสรรพสิ่ง
Varāha (default, as speaker is not explicit in the excerpt)
It exemplifies Purāṇic stuti style and the use of shared epithets (e.g., Rudra and Acyuta) that scholars often cite when discussing theological convergence and fluid deity-identification in early medieval Sanskrit literature.
No specific geographic toponym appears in this verse; it is a hymn of praise focused on divine attributes rather than sacred geography.
The verse foregrounds humility and the pursuit of śuddha-bhāva (purity of intent/disposition) as a philosophical posture, expressed through respectful address and a request for prasāda (grace/clarity).
