आविद्धकालदण्डोऽपि नानारोगहतोऽपि वा । न विनश्यति मर्त्योऽसौ प्रदोषे गिरिशार्चनात्
āviddhakāladaṇḍo'pi nānārogahato'pi vā | na vinaśyati martyo'sau pradoṣe giriśārcanāt
Dẫu bị cây gậy của Thời gian (tử thần) quật trói, dẫu bị muôn bệnh tật hành hạ—người phàm ấy vẫn không diệt vong, nhờ phụng thờ Girīśa vào giờ Pradoṣa.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice; not explicit in the snippet)
Scene: A sick devotee at dusk offers worship; behind him looms a dark personification of Kāla with a staff, halted by Śiva’s radiance emanating from the liṅga; healing light spreads like cool moonfire.
Pradoṣa worship of Śiva is extolled as a powerful refuge even against deathlike संकट (kāla) and severe illness.
No particular tīrtha is named; the deity Girīśa and the sacred time pradoṣa are central.
Perform arcanā (formal worship) of Girīśa (Śiva) at pradoṣa.
