मुखं प्रपीडयित्वाऽसौ पाणीनगणयत्तदा । एकं त्रीणिदशाष्टौ च विपरीतक्रमेण च
mukhaṃ prapīḍayitvā'sau pāṇīnagaṇayattadā | ekaṃ trīṇidaśāṣṭau ca viparītakrameṇa ca
بچکانہ کھیل میں اس نے منہ دبا کر پھر انگلیوں پر گنا: ‘ایک، تین، دس، آٹھ’—اور الٹے ترتیب سے بھی۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra/Kedāranātha
Type: kshetra
Scene: Infant Kumāra, cheeks puffed from playful pressing of his mouth, raises tiny fingers as if counting in a strange sequence; Śiva and Pārvatī watch with amused wonder; sages observe the omen-like play.
Even simple, playful acts can be sanctified when associated with divine presence—līlā invites affectionate devotion rather than fear.
Kedāra, as the narrative setting for Kumāra’s divine childhood līlā.
None; it is a descriptive līlā-episode meant to cultivate loving remembrance (smaraṇa) of the deity.
