Śatarudrīya-prabhāva and Rudra’s Supremacy (शतरुद्रीयप्रभावः)
क्षणेन हिमवान् सर्व: प्रकृतिस्थ: सुदर्शन: । प्रहृष्विहगश्नैव सुपुष्पितवनद्रुम:
kṣaṇena himavān sarvaḥ prakṛtisthaḥ sudarśanaḥ | prahṛṣṭa-vihaṅgaiś caiva supuṣpita-vanadrumaḥ ||
Sinabi ni Nārada: “Sa isang iglap, ang buong Himalaya ay nagbalik sa likás at dating kalagayan, at naging lubhang marikit pagmasdan. Ang mga ibong punô ng galak ay nagsimulang umawit, at ang mga punò sa gubat na iyon ay napalamutian ng magagandang bulaklak.”
