pinākapāṇiṃ varadaṃ triśūlinamumāpatiṃ hyandhakanāśanaṃ ca | candrārdhamauliṃ gajakṛttivāsasaṃ dṛṣṭvā papātāgragataṃ samīkṣya
پیناک کمان ہاتھ میں لیے، بخشش دینے والے، ترشول دھاری، اُما کے پتی، اندھک کے ناس کرنے والے، نیم چاند کے تاج والے اور ہاتھی کی کھال پہننے والے پروردگار کو سامنے کھڑا دیکھ کر اس نے نظر کی اور عقیدت سے گر پڑا۔
Narrator
Tirtha: Revā-tīra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahārāja
Scene: Śiva manifests before the ascetic: Pināka in hand, triśūla-bearing, Uma’s lord, Andhaka-slayer, half-moon on matted locks, wearing elephant hide; the devotee, overwhelmed, falls prostrate at His feet.
True austerity culminates in darśana, and the proper response to divine presence is surrender and reverent prostration.
The Revā/Narmadā setting is implied as the sacred ground where Śiva grants direct vision to the devotee.
No new prescription here; it narrates the result of prior tapas—Śiva’s appearance and the devotee’s pranāma.
