मेना-शिवदर्शन-प्रस्थानम् | Menā’s Quest to Behold Śiva
Departure for Śiva’s Darśana
ब्रह्मोवाच । इत्याकर्ण्य वचस्तस्य मेना मेने च तां शुभाम् । महाधनां भाग्यवती कुलत्रयसुखावहाम्
brahmovāca | ityākarṇya vacastasya menā mene ca tāṃ śubhām | mahādhanāṃ bhāgyavatī kulatrayasukhāvahām
Sinabi ni Brahmā: Nang marinig ang kanyang mga salita, inakala ni Menā na ang mapalad na dalaga ay tunay na karapat-dapat—mayaman sa kasaganaan, pinagpala ng mabuting kapalaran, at nakatakdang maghatid ng ligaya sa tatlong angkan (sa kanyang pinagmulan, sa tahanan ng asawa, at sa lahi ng mga anak).

Tattva Level: pashu
Shakti Form: Pārvatī
Role: nurturing
The verse frames Pārvatī’s auspiciousness as divinely ordained: her destiny supports dharma and harmony across generations, reflecting Shaiva Siddhānta’s view that divine grace (Śiva-śakti) uplifts both spiritual and worldly order.
Though not naming the Liṅga directly, it belongs to the narrative stream that culminates in Pārvatī’s union with Saguna Śiva; the household auspiciousness described is traditionally linked with devotion to Śiva in form (Saguna) as the giver of śubha (auspiciousness) and kula-kṣema (family welfare).
The takeaway is cultivation of śubha-saṅkalpa (auspicious resolve) and Śiva-bhakti in family life—commonly expressed through daily pañcākṣarī japa (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) and simple Śiva-pūjā for harmony and good fortune.
