ईश्वर उवाच । ददामि ते वरं ह्यद्य यस्त्वया याचितोऽनघ । गणेषु मे स्थितः पुत्र भृङ्गीशस्त्वं भविष्यसि
īśvara uvāca | dadāmi te varaṃ hyadya yastvayā yācito'nagha | gaṇeṣu me sthitaḥ putra bhṛṅgīśastvaṃ bhaviṣyasi
Īśvara phán: “Hỡi người vô tội, hôm nay Ta ban cho ngươi ân huệ mà ngươi đã cầu. Này con, an lập giữa các gaṇa của Ta, ngươi sẽ trở thành Bhṛṅgīśa.”
Īśvara (Śiva)
Listener: Andhaka
Scene: Śiva speaks a boon with authoritative calm; a subtle metamorphosis is implied—Andhaka’s destiny redirected into Bhṛṅgīśa, a gaṇa-lord among Śiva’s attendants.
When devotion is accepted, the Lord transforms the devotee’s destiny—granting both blessing and sacred belonging in divine service.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it belongs to the Revā-khaṇḍa context tied to the Narmadā region.
None; the verse focuses on boon-granting and appointment among Śiva’s gaṇas.
