केतुर्नाम ग्रहोत्युग्रः शिवसद्भावभावितः । वर्तुलोऽतीव विस्तीर्णो लोचनाभ्यां सुभीषणः
keturnāma grahotyugraḥ śivasadbhāvabhāvitaḥ | vartulo'tīva vistīrṇo locanābhyāṃ subhīṣaṇaḥ
کیتو نامی گرہ نہایت اُگْر ہے، مگر شیو کی سَدبھاوَنا سے معمور ہے۔ وہ گول صورت، بہت وسیع، اور دو آنکھوں کے ساتھ ہیبت ناک دکھائی دیتا ہے۔
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Ketuliṅga (Ketu-associated)
Type: temple
Listener: Mahādevī
Scene: A striking depiction of Ketu: round, vast, and terrifying with two eyes—yet marked by devotion to Śiva; the contrast between ferocity and sanctity is central.
Even fierce cosmic forces (grahas) are harmonized through orientation to Śiva—devotion transforms power into auspiciousness.
Ketuliṅga in Prabhāsakṣetra, associated with the graha Ketu.
No explicit rite; the verse introduces Ketu’s nature as context for the shrine’s significance.
