एतत्त्रिपुंड्रमाहात्म्यं समासात्कथितं मया । रहस्यं सर्वभूतानां गोपनीयमिदं त्वया
etattripuṃḍramāhātmyaṃ samāsātkathitaṃ mayā | rahasyaṃ sarvabhūtānāṃ gopanīyamidaṃ tvayā
یوں میں نے تِرِپُنڈْر کی عظمت مختصراً بیان کی۔ یہ سب جانداروں کے لیے راز ہے؛ تمہیں اسے پوشیدہ اور محفوظ رکھنا چاہیے۔
Rudra (Śiva) (contextual)
Listener: Sanatkumāra
Scene: Rudra instructs Sanatkumāra in a secluded sacred grove; the sage receives the teaching with folded hands; a subtle veil motif symbolizes secrecy and guarded transmission.
Sacred practices have inner meaning (rahasya) and should be transmitted responsibly.
None; the “māhātmya” here is of Tripuṇḍra itself rather than a geographical tīrtha.
Not a ritual act, but a discipline of secrecy/guarded transmission regarding Tripuṇḍra’s teaching.
