एतद्वः सर्वमाख्यातं केदारस्य च संभवम् । आख्यानं ब्राह्मणश्रेष्ठाः सर्वपातकनाशनम्
etadvaḥ sarvamākhyātaṃ kedārasya ca saṃbhavam | ākhyānaṃ brāhmaṇaśreṣṭhāḥ sarvapātakanāśanam
اے برہمنوں میں برتر لوگو، کیدار کی پیدائش اور ظہور سمیت یہ سب کچھ تمہیں بیان کیا گیا۔ یہ مقدّس آکھ्यान ہر گناہ کو مٹا دینے والا ہے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Brāhmaṇas (brāhmaṇaśreṣṭhāḥ)
Scene: A sage concludes the Kedāra origin story before an attentive brāhmaṇa assembly; behind them, a symbolic vision of Kedāranātha temple and the Himalayan landscape appears, signifying the ‘sambhava’ just narrated.
Hearing and preserving a tīrtha’s sacred history is itself a purifier; the story functions as dharma-teaching and sin-destroyer.
Kedāra—its saṃbhava (origin) and greatness.
Śravaṇa (hearing) of the Kedāra-ākhyāna is presented as a spiritually efficacious act.
