अथ नंदी समागत्य प्रोवाच वृषभध्वजम् । नमस्कृत्य प्रहृष्टास्यः प्रबद्धकरसंपुटः
atha naṃdī samāgatya provāca vṛṣabhadhvajam | namaskṛtya prahṛṣṭāsyaḥ prabaddhakarasaṃpuṭaḥ
Rồi Nandin đến và thưa với Đấng mang cờ hiệu con bò. Sau khi đảnh lễ, nét mặt hoan hỷ, hai tay chắp lại cung kính, ông bạch lời.
Skanda (narrator)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śiva (Vṛṣabhadhvaja)
Scene: Nandin returns, face bright with joy, hands folded; he bows to Śiva (bull-bannered), who sits composed; the moment is intimate—devotion expressed through posture.
Reverent approach—bowing and folded hands—models the devotional posture for approaching the divine.
The broader Kāśī setting connected to Muktimaṇḍapa is implied, not a separate tirtha.
Implicit devotional practice: namaskāra (prostration) and añjali (joined hands) as marks of reverence.
