cāruprasannavadanāṃ biṃboṣṭhīṃ sasmitekṣaṇām | sudvijāmagnijāṃ tanvīṃ viśālavadanotsavām
اس نے اسے دیکھا—خوشگوار و پُرسکون چہرہ والی؛ بمبہ پھل جیسے سرخ ہونٹوں والی؛ مسکراتی نگاہوں والی؛ نازک و باریک اندام—اس کے وسیع و درخشاں چہرے کا دیدار گویا مبارک جشن تھا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A close darśana of Girijā: serene face, bimba-red lips, smiling eyes, slender luminous body; her wide radiant countenance appears like a festival of auspiciousness, with Śiva or a divine observer beholding her.
The Divine is approached not only through austerity but also through reverent contemplation of auspicious beauty that elevates the mind.
Kedāra-kṣetra by narrative setting; the verse functions as a devotional tableau within the Kedārakhaṇḍa.
No explicit ritual is stated; it supports devotional meditation (dhyāna) on Devī’s auspicious form.
