Shloka 4
Rudra-Śiva: Names, Two Natures, and the Logic of Epithets (रुद्रनाम-बहुरूपत्व-प्रकरणम्)
तां दिदृक्षुरहं योगाच्चतुर्मूर्तित्वमागतः । चतुर्मुखश्न संवृत्तो दर्शयन् योगमुत्तमम्
tāṃ didṛkṣur ahaṃ yogāc caturmūrtitvam āgataḥ | caturmukhaś ca saṃvṛtto darśayan yogam uttamam ||
Nang hangarin kong masilayan siya, sa lakas ng yoga ay nag-anyong apat ako at naging may apat na mukha. Sa ganitong paraan, ipinamalas ko sa mga tao ang kadakilaan ng ganap na pagkamaginoo sa yoga.

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights yogic mastery as the capacity to transform oneself through disciplined inner power; even when desire arises (the wish to see Tilottamā), the emphasis is on controlled, demonstrative spiritual capability rather than uncontrolled indulgence.
Bhīṣma narrates that, wanting to see Tilottamā, he used yogic power to assume a fourfold, four-faced form, thereby publicly demonstrating an extraordinary yogic attainment.
