ग्रस्तेन शंभुना येन देवकार्यार्थसिद्धये । तत्रोदरगतेनैव तपस्तप्तं सुदुष्करम्
grastena śaṃbhunā yena devakāryārthasiddhaye | tatrodaragatenaiva tapastaptaṃ suduṣkaram
دیوتاؤں کے کام کی تکمیل کے لیے شَمبھو نے اسے نگل لیا؛ اور (شیو کے) پیٹ کے اندر ہی رہتے ہوئے اس نے وہاں نہایت دشوار تپسیا کی۔
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Śukra-antar-tapas episode (Prabhāsa localization)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Śukra swallowed by Śambhu for the gods’ objective; inside a cosmic, cavern-like belly-space, Śukra continues austerities—meditating amid inner fire and mantra-light.
Even overwhelming trials become a field for tapas when one is aligned with divine purpose and devotion.
Prabhāsakṣetra, as the sacred setting where Śukra’s Śaiva episode is commemorated.
No direct ritual instruction; the verse emphasizes tapas as the archetypal practice.
