संगीतस्य सवाद्यस्य तस्य लास्यस्यपुण्यतः । तत्रेशाग्रे कृतस्येह जागरे शिवरात्रिजे
saṃgītasya savādyasya tasya lāsyasyapuṇyataḥ | tatreśāgre kṛtasyeha jāgare śivarātrije
Dahil sa kabanalan ng musikang iyon na may kasamang mga tugtugin, at ng marikit na sayaw na ginawa roon sa harap ng Panginoon sa pagpupuyat ng Śivarātri—
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Śivarātri-jāgara at Ratneśvara (Kāśī)
Type: temple
Listener: Ṛṣi audience (frame)
Scene: A night-long Śivarātri vigil: rows of lamps, devotees seated in meditation, a small ensemble singing with vīṇā and drums, the dancer offering lasya before the liṅga; the Lord’s presence felt as a subtle radiance above the shrine.
Worship offered with devotion—especially during Śivarātri vigil—generates powerful merit, even when expressed through sacred arts.
The setting is in Kāśī before the Lord (Īśa), in the continuing Ratneśvara-liṅga narrative.
Śivarātri jāgaraṇa (night vigil) is explicitly referenced, along with devotional performance before Śiva.
