सती-शिवचरित्रप्रसङ्गः / The Account of Satī and Śiva’s Divine Conduct
Prelude to Detailed Narrative
पूर्णकामो वराधीनं प्राणमत्स्म मुदा हरः । रामं भ्रमन्तं विपिने सलक्ष्मणमुदारधीः
pūrṇakāmo varādhīnaṃ prāṇamatsma mudā haraḥ | rāmaṃ bhramantaṃ vipine salakṣmaṇamudāradhīḥ
Dẫu luôn viên mãn mọi ước nguyện, Đức Hara—tràn niềm hỷ lạc và thuận theo chính ân huệ của Ngài—đã cúi mình đảnh lễ. Bậc tâm hồn cao thượng ấy nhìn thấy Rāma đang phiêu du trong rừng cùng Lakṣmaṇa.

It shows Shiva’s līlā: though intrinsically pūrṇakāma (complete and desireless), He adopts the posture of devotion and humility, teaching that true greatness expresses itself as reverence and dharma.
The verse highlights Saguna Shiva—Hara acting in a personal, relational way. Such narratives support devotional worship (including Linga worship) where the Lord responds through līlā while remaining the supreme Pati beyond limitation.
Practice humble bhakti: offer namaskāra to Shiva daily, recite the Panchakshara ("Om Namaḥ Śivāya"), and meditate on Shiva as both transcendent (nirguṇa) and graciously personal (saguṇa).
