यो वै जगदधिष्ठाता सोधिष्ठातात्र सर्वगः । सर्वदृक्सर्वदः शर्वः कथं न ज्ञायते विभो
yo vai jagadadhiṣṭhātā sodhiṣṭhātātra sarvagaḥ | sarvadṛksarvadaḥ śarvaḥ kathaṃ na jñāyate vibho
جو جگت کا حاکمِ اعلیٰ ہے، وہی یہاں بھی حاکم ہے، ہر سو پھیلا ہوا۔ سب کچھ دیکھنے والا، سب کچھ عطا کرنے والا شَروَ—اے قادرِ مطلق، وہ کیسے نہ پہچانا جائے؟
Kārpaṭika
Tirtha: Viśveśvara in Kāśī (implied)
Type: temple
Listener: Rājendra
Scene: A rhetorical, devotional assertion: Śarva is the universal presider and also presides here; the speaker challenges the listener’s lack of recognition.
Recognize Śiva as the universal and local presiding divinity; spiritual blindness is failing to see the ever-present Lord.
Kāśī, as the seat where the universal Lord is explicitly present as the adhiṣṭhātā (Viśveśvara/Śarva).
None explicitly; the verse emphasizes jñāna (recognition) and devotion.
