अनरण्य-वंशवर्णनम् तथा पिप्पलादस्य कामोत्पत्तिः
Genealogy of King Anaraṇya and Pippalāda’s arousal of desire
सत्पात्रं ब्राह्मणादन्यन्न पश्यावो जगत्त्रये । सुतां दत्त्वा च मुनये रक्ष स्वां सर्वसम्पदम्
satpātraṃ brāhmaṇādanyanna paśyāvo jagattraye | sutāṃ dattvā ca munaye rakṣa svāṃ sarvasampadam
Trong ba cõi, chúng ta không thấy người thọ nhận nào xứng đáng hơn một Bà-la-môn chân chính. Vậy nên, hãy gả ái nữ của ngài cho bậc hiền thánh, nhờ đó gìn giữ trọn vẹn phúc lộc và an hòa của chính mình.

It teaches that honoring a truly qualified brāhmaṇa-sage as a “satpātra” is a dharmic act that safeguards one’s welfare—because dharma invites Shiva’s grace and preserves auspiciousness in worldly life and spiritual progress.
In the Parvatīkhaṇḍa narrative, devotion to Saguna Shiva is supported by dharmic conduct—reverence to sages and proper rites. Such acts purify the devotee and prepare the heart for Shiva-bhakti, which culminates in Shiva’s blessings (anugraha).
The practical takeaway is satkāra (honoring) of worthy brāhmaṇas and sages through respectful offerings and blessings, done with Shiva-bhakti; this aligns with Shaiva dharma and supports auspicious rites connected to Shiva worship.
