रुद्र उवाच । यस्ते मित्रं स मे मित्रं यस्ते रिपुः स मे रिपुः । यस्त्वां पूजयते विष्णो स मां पूजयते ध्रुवम्
rudra uvāca | yaste mitraṃ sa me mitraṃ yaste ripuḥ sa me ripuḥ | yastvāṃ pūjayate viṣṇo sa māṃ pūjayate dhruvam
رُدر نے کہا: جو تیرا دوست ہے وہ میرا دوست ہے؛ جو تیرا دشمن ہے وہ میرا دشمن ہے۔ اے وِشنو! جو تیری پوجا کرتا ہے وہ یقیناً میری بھی پوجا کرتا ہے۔
Rudra (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa / Vastrāpatha (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Viṣṇu
Scene: Rudra addresses Viṣṇu face-to-face in a sacred grove near the tīrtha; both stand in equal stature, calm and radiant; attendants (gaṇas and vānaras/garuḍa motifs) remain subdued, emphasizing concord.
The Purāṇic ideal of Hari-Hara unity: devotion offered to one supreme form reaches the other.
Within Vastrāpatha-kṣetra Māhātmya (Prabhāsa), the teaching sanctifies the tīrtha as a place of reconciled devotion.
Viṣṇu-pūjā is affirmed as simultaneously Śiva-pūjā, encouraging non-sectarian worship.
