Rudra’s Hymn: Vision of Nārāyaṇa, the Emergence of the Ādityas, and the Mutual Boon of Hari and Hara
इति स्तुतिं मे भगवन्ननन्त जुषस्व भक्तस्य विशेषतश्च । सृष्टिं सृजस्वेति तवोदितस्य सर्वज्ञतां देहि नमोऽस्तु विष्णो ॥ ७३.३४ ॥
iti stutiṁ me bhagavann ananta juṣasva bhaktasya viśeṣataś ca | sṛṣṭiṁ sṛjasv eti tavoditasya sarvajñatāṁ dehi namo 'stu viṣṇo || 73.34 ||
ข้าแต่พระผู้เป็นเจ้าอนันตะ โปรดทรงรับบทสรรเสริญของข้าพเจ้านี้ โดยเฉพาะในฐานะที่เป็นของถวายจากผู้ภักดี. และตามที่พระองค์ตรัสว่า ‘จงสร้างสรรพสิ่ง’ ขอประทานความเป็นผู้รู้ทั่วแก่ข้าพเจ้า; ขอนอบน้อมแด่พระวิษณุ.
Pṛthivī (defaulted per dialogue framework; stuti addressed to Viṣṇu/Varāha)
It exemplifies a common Purāṇic literary feature: a stuti (hymn) embedded within a dialogue frame, where a devotee addresses a supreme figure (here, Viṣṇu/Ananta) using formal praise and requests, reflecting devotional idioms prevalent in early medieval Sanskrit textual culture.
No specific geographic location is named in this verse; it is primarily a devotional and philosophical request addressed to Viṣṇu/Ananta.
The verse foregrounds a philosophical instruction of humility and disciplined speech: offering praise and requesting knowledge (sarvajñatā) through devotion and respectful address rather than through coercive authority.
