Ito ang kataas-taasang lihim—lubhang nagpapadalisay, nagbibigay ng dangal, at nagpapalago ng kabanalan at kasaganaan. Ang salaysay na ito’y isinalaysay: winawasak nito ang mga agos ng kasalanan at pinalalago ang debosyon sa mga talampakang-lotus ni Gaurīśa (Śiva).
Sūta
Scene: A sacred manuscript or recitation scene: a narrator recites the ‘rahasya’ tale to attentive listeners; above, a subtle vision of Śiva (Gaurīśa) with lotus-feet radiating, symbolizing bhakti’s increase and sin’s dissolution.
Sacred listening/recitation of Purāṇic Śiva-kathā purifies, destroys sin, and deepens devotion to Śiva.
This verse is a general phalaśruti and does not glorify a particular tīrtha by name.
Implied practice: hearing, reciting, and transmitting this sacred narrative as a purifying devotional act.
