ईदृशं च तपो घोरं कस्माद्वत्स त्वया कृतम् । वरं दास्याम्यहं वत्स यस्ते मनसि वर्तते
īdṛśaṃ ca tapo ghoraṃ kasmādvatsa tvayā kṛtam | varaṃ dāsyāmyahaṃ vatsa yaste manasi vartate
“اے عزیز فرزند! تم نے ایسی ہولناک تپسیا کیوں کی؟ بتاؤ—جو वर (نعمت) تمہارے دل میں ہے، وہی वर میں تمہیں عطا کروں گا۔”
Maheśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tirtha-region
Type: river
Scene: Śiva, compassionate and regal, asks the tapasvin why such fierce austerity was done and offers to grant the boon residing in his mind.
Tapas culminates in divine audience and grace; the Lord as Varada responds to intense discipline by offering fulfillment of the seeker’s intention.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; the moment sanctifies the place of austerity within the Revā Khaṇḍa landscape.
None explicitly; the implied spiritual mechanism is tapas leading to vara (boon) through divine approval.
