द्विगुणं बलमापन्ना महात्मानो दृढव्रताः । महेशं स्मरमाणास्ते गणेशं च पुनः पुनः
dviguṇaṃ balamāpannā mahātmāno dṛḍhavratāḥ | maheśaṃ smaramāṇāste gaṇeśaṃ ca punaḥ punaḥ
وہ عظیم النفس، پختہ عہد والے، دوگنا قوت پا گئے—مہیش (شیو) کو یاد کرتے رہے اور گنیش کو بار بار پکارते رہے۔
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced; Māheśvara Khaṇḍa narration to sages)
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Scene: The devas, steadfast in vows, glow with doubled strength as they mentally fix on Maheśa; simultaneously they repeatedly call upon Gaṇeśa, who appears as the remover of obstacles beside the churning scene.
Steady vow and repeated remembrance of Śiva along with Gaṇeśa is portrayed as a direct source of increased spiritual strength.
This verse occurs in the Kedāra Khaṇḍa, within the Kedāra sacred-geography context of the Skanda Purāṇa.
No external rite is specified; the practice emphasized is smaraṇa/japa—repeated invocation and remembrance of Maheśa and Gaṇeśa.
