अन्धक उवाच । नमस्ते जगतां धात्रे शर्वाय त्रिगुणात्मने । वृषभासनसंस्थाय शशांककृतभूषण
andhaka uvāca | namaste jagatāṃ dhātre śarvāya triguṇātmane | vṛṣabhāsanasaṃsthāya śaśāṃkakṛtabhūṣaṇa
اندھک نے کہا: اے جہانوں کے دھاتا، آپ کو نمسکار؛ اے شرو، جو تری گُنوں کی صورت ہو، آپ کو پرنام۔ جو بیل پر آسن نشین ہیں اور چاند کو زیور بنائے ہوئے ہیں۔
Andhaka
Type: kshetra
Scene: Andhaka begins his hymn: hands folded, eyes lifted; Śiva appears as Śarva—seated upon Nandin, moon adorning his matted hair—radiating the calm authority of the world-sustainer.
True refuge is in Śiva, the cosmic sustainer; praise (stuti) marks the turning from ego toward surrender.
No particular tīrtha is named in this verse; it is a devotional address to Śiva within a Tīrthamāhātmya chapter.
No explicit prescription; the verse itself functions as a stotra line suitable for recitation.
