Cosmic order (dharma) is safeguarded by divine oversight; even wondrous events must align with the welfare of the world.
The episode is situated within Nāgarakhaṇḍa’s tīrtha narrative; the verse emphasizes Śiva’s role rather than naming the tīrtha.
None; it introduces the devas’ appeal to Śiva for restraint.
