पूजा विरचिता रम्या शंभोरिति मया नृप । ततस्तांडवमारब्धमनपेक्षितसत्क्रियम्
pūjā viracitā ramyā śaṃbhoriti mayā nṛpa | tatastāṃḍavamārabdhamanapekṣitasatkriyam
Muôn tâu Đại vương, có lần ta bày biện một lễ cúng thật mỹ diệu dâng lên Śambhu. Rồi ta khởi vũ điệu tāṇḍava, chẳng đợi bất kỳ nghi thức tiếp đãi hay phép tắc lễ nghi nào.

Tirtha: Jāgeśvara (liṅga)
Type: kshetra
Listener: A King (nṛpa)
Scene: A completed pūjā setup glows with lamps and flowers; the youthful devotee suddenly begins a vigorous tāṇḍava before the liṅga, hair and garments in motion, while attendants look on in astonishment.
Sincere devotion to Śiva can overflow into spontaneous expression; inner bhakti is valued beyond mere formality.
No single tīrtha is named in this verse; the focus is on Śiva-worship and its devotional mood.
Performing pūjā to Śambhu (Śiva) is referenced; no detailed procedure is specified in this verse.
