अब्रवीद्वचनं चापि प्रहस्य वृषभध्वजः । जामदग्न्य महाबाहो शृणु मे परमं वचः
abravīdvacanaṃ cāpi prahasya vṛṣabhadhvajaḥ | jāmadagnya mahābāho śṛṇu me paramaṃ vacaḥ
Ngumiti ang Panginoong may watawat ng toro (Śiva) at nagsalita: “O Jāmadagnya, makapangyarihang bisig, dinggin mo ang aking kataas-taasang salita.”
Śiva (Vṛṣabhadhvaja)
Tirtha: Rāmatīrtha (contextual, named later)
Type: kund
Scene: Śiva, bearing the bull-banner, smiles and begins a solemn instruction to Paraśurāma; the moment is intimate, like guru addressing disciple.
