स्तवमेतं प्रयत्नेन सदा रुद्रस्य संनिधौ । अब्दमेकं चरेद् भक्त: प्राप्रुयादीप्सितं फलम्
stavam etaṁ prayatnena sadā rudrasya sannidhau | abdam ekaṁ cared bhaktaḥ prāpnuyād īpsitaṁ phalam ||
جو بھکت رودر (شیو) کی حضوری میں ہمیشہ کوشش و اہتمام کے ساتھ اس ستوتر کا پاٹھ کرے اور ایک پورا سال یہ نِیَم نبھائے، وہ مطلوبہ پھل پا لیتا ہے۔
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Steady, disciplined devotion—reciting a hymn with sincere effort, consistently and reverently (especially near the deity)—is presented as a dharmic practice that yields the devotee’s desired result (īpsita-phala).
Vāyu is instructing the listener about the efficacy of a specific stotra to Rudra/Śiva: if a bhakta recites it regularly in Śiva’s presence for a full year, the promised fruit is attained.
