मणिनाग उवाच । अत्र स्थाने महादेव स्थीयतामंशभागतः । सहस्रांशेन भागेन स्थीयतां नर्मदाजले । उपकाराय लोकानां मम नाम्नैव शङ्कर
maṇināga uvāca | atra sthāne mahādeva sthīyatāmaṃśabhāgataḥ | sahasrāṃśena bhāgena sthīyatāṃ narmadājale | upakārāya lokānāṃ mama nāmnaiva śaṅkara
مَنیناگ نے کہا: اے مہادیو! اس مقام پر اپنے ایک جزوی ظہور کے ساتھ ٹھہریے۔ اے شنکر! نَرمدا کے جل میں ہزارویں حصے کے برابر قیام فرمائیے، جگت کے بھلے کے لیے، اور میرے ہی نام سے۔
Maṇināga
Tirtha: Maṇināga-nāmāṅkita Śiva-sthāna (implied)
Type: ghat
Listener: Mahādeva/Śaṅkara
Scene: Maṇināga petitions Mahādeva to remain at the spot as a partial manifestation and to abide within Narmadā’s waters ‘by a thousandth part,’ requesting the deity bear his name for the world’s benefit.
A tīrtha becomes salvific when the Lord consents to abide there—divine presence is invoked for loka-kalyāṇa (the welfare of all).
The Narmadā (Revā) river and a particular spot on its waters where Śiva is requested to abide as an aṃśa.
Implicitly, the verse sets up the idea of establishing Śiva’s presence at a site (foundation for liṅga-pratiṣṭhā and tīrtha worship).
