मम स्मरणमात्रेण विभ्रष्टा हि तपस्विनः । त्वमेव जानासि हरे मम वीर्यपराक्रमौ
mama smaraṇamātreṇa vibhraṣṭā hi tapasvinaḥ | tvameva jānāsi hare mama vīryaparākramau
محض میرا یاد کرنا ہی تپسویوں کو ریاضت سے گرا دیتا ہے؛ اے ہری، میری قوت اور پرाकرم کو تو ہی جانتا ہے۔
Madana (Kāma)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedāranātha)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A powerful being boasts that mere remembrance of them causes ascetics to slip from austerity, addressing Hari as the one who truly knows their prowess; the scene balances ascetic imagery with a flash of irresistible radiance.
Uncontrolled desire can derail spiritual practice; guarding the mind is essential to protect tapas.
No specific tīrtha is praised in this verse; it is part of Kedāra Khaṇḍa’s mythic narrative.
None; it describes the psychological-spiritual effect of desire on ascetics.
