Tīrtha-māhātmya and Rudra’s Samanvaya Teaching
Maṅkaṇaka Episode
दत्त्वात्र शिवभक्तानां किञ्चिच्छश्वन्महीं शुभाम् / सार्वभौमो भवेद् राजा मुमुक्षुर्मोक्षमाप्नुयात्
dattvātra śivabhaktānāṃ kiñcicchaśvanmahīṃ śubhām / sārvabhaumo bhaved rājā mumukṣurmokṣamāpnuyāt
یہاں شیو بھکتوں کو مبارک زمین کا تھوڑا سا حصہ بھی دائمی دان کے طور پر دینے سے راجا ساروبھوم (عالمگیر فرمانروا) بن جاتا ہے؛ اور جو نجات کا طالب ہو وہ موکش پاتا ہے۔
Lord Kurma (Vishnu) instructing the sages (Kurma Purana discourse on dāna-dharma)
Primary Rasa: vira
Secondary Rasa: shanta
It frames mokṣa as a real, attainable end for the mumukṣu, implying that liberation is the highest puruṣārtha beyond political power; the verse points to a dharmic act that purifies and supports realization of the Self.
No specific technique is listed; instead, it emphasizes karma-yoga through dāna (especially to Śiva-bhaktas) as a purifier that supports the mokṣa-oriented life of a mumukṣu within the Kurma Purana’s broader Shaiva yoga framework.
With Viṣṇu (as Lord Kūrma) praising gifts to Śiva’s devotees as mokṣa-bearing, it reflects the Purāṇa’s non-sectarian synthesis: devotion and service to Śiva are upheld within a Vaiṣṇava narrator’s dharma teaching.
