बिभ्राणं कुंडलयुगं नीलरत्नमहाहनुम् । नीलग्रीवं महाबाहुं नागहारविराजितम्
bibhrāṇaṃ kuṃḍalayugaṃ nīlaratnamahāhanum | nīlagrīvaṃ mahābāhuṃ nāgahāravirājitam
Suot ang isang pares ng hikaw; ang kaniyang makapangyarihang pisngi’y tila bughaw na hiyas. Bughaw ang lalamunan, dakila ang mga bisig, at nagniningning sa kuwintas na mga ahas.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa in Brāhma Khaṇḍa framing)
Scene: A frontal, temple-icon Śiva: blue-throated, broad-armed, wearing twin kuṇḍalas; cheeks/face gleam like deep-blue gems; a serpent-garland rests across the chest, radiating cool, lapis-like light.
Śiva’s ‘blue throat’ recalls the protection of the worlds; his ornaments signify fearless mastery over poison and death.
