तथा मृडानीकांतेन विष्णुसादखिलंजगत । विधाय क्रीड्यते विप्र नित्यं स्वच्छंद लीलया
tathā mṛḍānīkāṃtena viṣṇusādakhilaṃjagata | vidhāya krīḍyate vipra nityaṃ svacchaṃda līlayā
اسی طرح، اے وِپر (برہمن)، مُڑانی کے محبوب نے سارے جگت کو وِشنو کے اختیار میں کر دیا۔ یوں انتظام کر کے وہ اپنی آزاد، خود ارادہ لیلا میں ہمیشہ کھیلتا رہتا ہے۔
Skanda
Tirtha: Kāśī (Hari-Hara integrative frame)
Type: kshetra
Listener: dvija (brāhmaṇa)
Scene: A cosmic stage: Śiva as the unseen director, Pārvatī beside; Viṣṇu shown sustaining the universe (holding chakra, conch), while the cosmos is arranged like a mandala-board; the mood is playful yet majestic (līlā).
Cosmic order is a divine līlā: Śiva, in harmony with Viṣṇu, freely sustains and orchestrates the universe.
The teaching belongs to the Kāśī Khaṇḍa’s Kāśī-mahātmya atmosphere, where such theology underpins Kāśī’s liberating sanctity.
No explicit ritual; the verse encourages reverence for the divine order and contemplation of Śiva’s līlā.
