तच्छ्रुत्वा त्रिदशाः सर्वे प्रणम्य शशिशेखरम् । संप्रहृष्टा नरश्रेष्ठ स्वानि स्थानानि भेजिरे
tacchrutvā tridaśāḥ sarve praṇamya śaśiśekharam | saṃprahṛṣṭā naraśreṣṭha svāni sthānāni bhejire
یہ سن کر تمام تری دَش (دیوتا) ششی شیکھر (شیو) کو سجدہ ریز ہوئے۔ اے بہترین انسان! خوش ہو کر وہ اپنے اپنے دھاموں کو لوٹ گئے۔
Narrator (deduced; addressing a human listener ‘naraśreṣṭha’)
Listener: Sages (typical frame; not explicit)
Scene: A celestial assembly: devas with folded hands bowing to Śiva as Śaśiśekhara, moon adorning his matted hair; their faces bright with joy as they depart to their abodes.
Even the gods revere Śiva and affirm the authority of his vow-teachings; humility before the divine is exemplary.
No specific site is named; the verse concludes a divine assembly episode within the chapter’s setting.
No direct prescription; it narrates the devas’ response—bowing to Śiva after hearing the teaching.
