मायया मां महादेव नच्छादयितुमर्हसि । नाभीकमलकोशात्तु कोटिशः कमलासनान्
māyayā māṃ mahādeva nacchādayitumarhasi | nābhīkamalakośāttu koṭiśaḥ kamalāsanān
“Ôi Mahādeva, xin Ngài chớ che phủ con bằng māyā. Từ bọc hoa sen nơi rốn con, trong mỗi thời đại, vô số Brahmā ngồi trên tòa sen lại sinh khởi.”
Brahmā
Tirtha: Avimukta-Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: A speaker addresses Mahādeva: ‘Do not veil me with māyā’; behind the words, a visionary tableau of a cosmic navel-lotus from which innumerable lotus-seated Brahmās arise across ages.
Even cosmic creators are subject to the Lord’s māyā; the verse highlights Śiva’s transcendence over the powers governing manifestation.
Indirectly Kāśī (Vārāṇasī) as the theological backdrop of the Kāśī Khaṇḍa; this verse focuses more on cosmology than a named tīrtha.
None; it is doctrinal dialogue about māyā and cosmic emanation.
