ततः संतोषितो देव उमापतिर्नराधिप । देवेन्द्रत्वं वरं राज्यं दानवानां वधं ददौ
tataḥ saṃtoṣito deva umāpatirnarādhipa | devendratvaṃ varaṃ rājyaṃ dānavānāṃ vadhaṃ dadau
اے بادشاہ! اس تپسیا سے خوش ہو کر اُماپتی دیو نے اسے اندریت کا ور، سلطنت کی حاکمیت، اور دانَووں کے قتل کی قدرت عطا کی۔
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Śakratīrtha
Type: kshetra
Listener: A king
Scene: Śiva as Umāpati appears radiant, with Umā beside him; Indra kneels in reverence; Śiva bestows a boon gesture; in the background, subdued silhouettes of Dānavas foreshadow their defeat; Narmadā glimmers nearby.
Divine grace responds to disciplined devotion; legitimate power is portrayed as a boon aligned with dharma.
Śakratīrtha, where Śakra’s tapas pleased Umāpati and produced these boons.
No specific rite is listed; the narrative frames tapas and Śiva-bhakti as the means that bring about the boon.
