Nakita ng hari ang Panginoon na nahayag sa harap niya—ang asul-ang-lalamunan, nakaluklok sa toro—na sa mga kamay ay taglay ang trishula, ang khatvāṅga, ang palakol, ang balat, ang usa, ang mudra ng walang-takot, ang kaloob ng ninanais, at ang busog na Pināka.

Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva appears before the king, seated upon Nandin the bull, blue-throated; multiple hands display trident, khaṭvāṅga, axe, hide, deer; one hand in abhaya-mudrā, another granting boons; Pināka present—an awe-inspiring guardian-king of the cosmos.
Śiva’s manifested form combines protection (abhaya) and the granting of rightful aims, affirming that divine grace can halt ruin and restore dharmic direction.
No particular tīrtha is named; the passage is a Śiva-darśana (deity-mahātmya) description.
