यज्ञमूर्तिधरो विष्णुस्ततस्तुष्टाव शंकरम् । भीतो हिरण्यगर्भोपि जजाप शतरुद्रियम्
yajñamūrtidharo viṣṇustatastuṣṭāva śaṃkaram | bhīto hiraṇyagarbhopi jajāpa śatarudriyam
تب یَجْن کی مُورت دھارن کرنے والے وِشنو نے شنکر کی ستوتی کی؛ اور ہِرَنیہ گربھ (برہما) بھی خوف سے شترُدریہ کا جپ کرنے لگا۔
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Viṣṇu as the embodied yajña (yajñamūrti) offers reverent praise to Śaṅkara; nearby Hiraṇyagarbha (Brahmā), visibly anxious, chants the Śatarudrīya—Vedic cadence visualized as flowing syllables around Rudra’s presence.
Even the highest gods seek refuge in Śiva through praise and Vedic Rudra-recitation, highlighting Śiva’s supreme sanctifying power.
The broader Kāśī context is being glorified, though this verse focuses on cosmic reverence to Śiva rather than a named tirtha.
Recitation of the Śatarudrīya is referenced as a powerful act of propitiation.
