ततो गणा नंदिमुखा रत्नानि प्रददुस्तथा । भूषणानि च वासांसि मुन्यादिभ्यो यथाक्रमम्
tato gaṇā naṃdimukhā ratnāni pradadustathā | bhūṣaṇāni ca vāsāṃsi munyādibhyo yathākramam
پھر نندیمکھ کی سرکردگی میں گنوں نے رتن بانٹے؛ اور زیورات اور لباس بھی، مُنیوں وغیرہ کو ترتیب کے مطابق عطا کیے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva’s gaṇas led by Nandimukha ceremonially distribute jewels, ornaments, and fine garments to seated sages in an orderly sequence; the scene resembles a divine yajña-sabhā of generosity and honor.
Honoring the holy with gifts and proper hospitality is shown as a dhārmic act that supports sacred gatherings and increases merit.
The giving occurs within the Mandara-centered sacred assembly in this chapter’s māhātmya setting.
Dāna-like honoring is described: distributing ratnas (jewels), bhūṣaṇas (ornaments), and vāsas (garments) to sages and attendees in proper order.
