अस्यस्तोत्रस्य पठनान्नियतं मम संनिधौ । न दुर्वृत्तौ प्रवृत्तिः स्यादविवेकवतां नृणाम्
asyastotrasya paṭhanānniyataṃ mama saṃnidhau | na durvṛttau pravṛttiḥ syādavivekavatāṃ nṛṇām
Sa pagbigkas ng himnong ito, tiyak na mananatili ang tao sa aking piling; kahit ang mga taong salat sa pag-unawa ay hindi mahihilig sa masamang asal.
Śiva (Mahādeva)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (Śiva-sannidhi through Vāyavya-stotra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee recites the hymn; behind him, a subtle aura indicates Śiva’s presence. Figures representing ‘men without discernment’ turn away from vice—gambling, anger, intoxication—toward the temple lamp and prayer.
Keeping company with the Divine through remembrance and recitation naturally restrains unethical impulses.
Kāśī’s Śaiva ethos is the background—living in Śiva’s ‘presence’ is a hallmark theme of Kāśī Māhātmya.
Regular recitation (pāṭha) of the stotra as a spiritual safeguard.
