तिस्रो रेखा भवंत्येषु स्थानेषु मुनिपुंगव । भ्रुवोर्मध्यं समारभ्य यावदंतो भ्रुवोर्भवेत्
tisro rekhā bhavaṃtyeṣu sthāneṣu munipuṃgava | bhruvormadhyaṃ samārabhya yāvadaṃto bhruvorbhavet
O pinakamarangal sa mga muni, sa mga bahaging ito ay may tatlong guhit: nagsisimula sa gitna ng pagitan ng mga kilay at umaabot hanggang sa mga dulo ng mga kilay.
Śrī Rudra (Śiva)
Listener: Muni-puṅgava (foremost sage)
Scene: Close depiction of the forehead Tripuṇḍra: three clean horizontal ash lines precisely spanning from between the brows to the brow ends; teacher-sage instructs on exact boundaries.
Śaiva marks are not arbitrary; they follow a sacred form that expresses disciplined devotion.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse concerns the correct form of the Tripuṇḍra.
Make three lines, starting from between the eyebrows and extending to the ends of the eyebrows.
