मेना-शिवदर्शन-प्रस्थानम् | Menā’s Quest to Behold Śiva
Departure for Śiva’s Darśana
ब्रह्मोवाच । इत्याकर्ण्य वचस्तस्य मेना मेने च तां शुभाम् । महाधनां भाग्यवती कुलत्रयसुखावहाम्
brahmovāca | ityākarṇya vacastasya menā mene ca tāṃ śubhām | mahādhanāṃ bhāgyavatī kulatrayasukhāvahām
برہما نے کہا—اُس کے کلمات سن کر مینا نے اُس مبارک دوشیزہ کو لائق جانا—بہت دولت والی، نصیب والی، اور تین خاندانوں کے لیے خوشی لانے والی۔

Role: nurturing
The verse frames Pārvatī’s auspiciousness as divinely ordained: her destiny supports dharma and harmony across generations, reflecting Shaiva Siddhānta’s view that divine grace (Śiva-śakti) uplifts both spiritual and worldly order.
Though not naming the Liṅga directly, it belongs to the narrative stream that culminates in Pārvatī’s union with Saguna Śiva; the household auspiciousness described is traditionally linked with devotion to Śiva in form (Saguna) as the giver of śubha (auspiciousness) and kula-kṣema (family welfare).
The takeaway is cultivation of śubha-saṅkalpa (auspicious resolve) and Śiva-bhakti in family life—commonly expressed through daily pañcākṣarī japa (“Om Namaḥ Śivāya”) and simple Śiva-pūjā for harmony and good fortune.
