राजराजः स एवाभूत्सर्वेषां धनदः सताम् । स एव रुद्रमूर्तिश्च प्रेक्षिष्ट रिपुभी रणे
rājarājaḥ sa evābhūtsarveṣāṃ dhanadaḥ satām | sa eva rudramūrtiśca prekṣiṣṭa ripubhī raṇe
وہی بادشاہوں کا بادشاہ بنا، تمام نیکوں کو دولت عطا کرنے والا؛ اور جنگ میں وہ رودر کی مورت بن کر ظاہر ہوا—دشمنوں کے لیے ہیبت ناک۔
Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Twofold tableau: (1) the king distributing wealth to the righteous; (2) the same figure in battle blazing like Rudra, eyes fierce, enemies trembling.
Dharma integrates generosity and fierce protection: nurturing the righteous while confronting adharma with Rudra-like resolve.
The verse belongs to the Kāśī/Vārāṇasī-centered adhyāya, glorifying the sacred city indirectly through the exalted qualities of its ruler.
None; the emphasis is on kingship, protection, and Śaiva valor.
