भुजस्तंभः कृतस्तेन नंदिना दृष्टिमात्रतः । वाक्स्तंभस्तद्भयाज्जातः स्पृश मे कंठकंदलीम्
bhujastaṃbhaḥ kṛtastena naṃdinā dṛṣṭimātrataḥ | vākstaṃbhastadbhayājjātaḥ spṛśa me kaṃṭhakaṃdalīm
نندی کی محض نگاہ سے میرے بازو اکڑ کر جم گئے؛ اور اس کے خوف سے میری زبان بھی بند ہو گئی۔ کرم فرما کر میرے گلے کے اس گچھے کو چھوئیے اور مجھے رہائی دیجئے۔
Satyavatī’s son (Vyāsa) addressing Maheśa/Śiva (contextual deduction within Kāśīkhaṇḍa Uttarārdha)
Tirtha: Avimukta-Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee stands trembling, arms rigid and speech arrested, before Nandin’s awe-inspiring gaze; he pleads for release at the throat so he may speak praise.
Divine attendants (like Nandin) uphold Śiva’s sanctity; humility and surrender restore the devotee’s capacity to speak and praise.
Kāśī (Vārāṇasī), especially the sphere of Viśvanātha/Śiva where his gaṇas guard the dhāma.
None explicitly; the verse emphasizes prayerful appeal and Śiva-bhakti rather than a specific vrata or dāna.
