उषस्युषसि तन्वंगी शिवद्वाररता सदा । संमार्जनं च कुरुते भक्त्या परमया युता
uṣasyuṣasi tanvaṃgī śivadvāraratā sadā | saṃmārjanaṃ ca kurute bhaktyā paramayā yutā
ہر روز سحر کے وقت، باریک اندام دوشیزہ جو ہمیشہ شیو کے دروازے سے وابستہ رہتی تھی، اعلیٰ ترین بھکتی کے ساتھ جھاڑو دے کر صفائی کرتی۔
Lomaharṣaṇa/Sūta (deduced: Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narration style)
Tirtha: Śiva-dvāra-sevā (temple-threshold service) within Kedāra/Kāśī Śaiva ethos
Type: ghat
Listener: Internal audience of Kedārakhaṇḍa dialogue frame (unspecified)
Scene: At first light, Sundarī in simple attire sweeps the temple threshold of Śiva, lamp flames flicker, flowers and bilva leaves nearby; her posture is humble, face serene, absorbed in devotion.
Regular, humble service performed with supreme devotion becomes a direct form of worship.
The Kedāra Śiva-sphere is praised through the sanctity of serving at Śiva’s very threshold.
Uṣaḥkāla-sevā: dawn-time saṃmārjana (daily sweeping/cleaning) at the Śiva temple entrance.
