भक्त्या निवेदितं शंभोः पत्रं पुष्पं फलं जलम् । अल्पादल्पतरं वापि तदानंत्याय कल्पते
bhaktyā niveditaṃ śaṃbhoḥ patraṃ puṣpaṃ phalaṃ jalam | alpādalpataraṃ vāpi tadānaṃtyāya kalpate
شَمبھو کو بھکتی سے پیش کیا گیا پتا، پھول، پھل یا پانی—حتیٰ کہ نہایت چھوٹی سی نذر بھی—لامحدود روحانی پھل کا سبب بن جاتی ہے۔
Sūta
Scene: A devotee offers a single bilva leaf and a small vessel of water to a radiant Śiva-liṅga; the offering appears tiny, yet a vast aura of light expands outward, signifying infinite fruit.
Devotion, not material magnitude, is the measure of an offering’s spiritual power.
No tīrtha is specified; the verse teaches a general principle of Śiva-pūjā.
Offering patra, puṣpa, phala, and jala to Śiva with bhakti.
