ततस्तस्यातिभक्त्यासौ प्राह तुष्टो महेश्वरः । विभूतीः स्वाधर्मज्ञानवैराग्यैश्वर्यमेव च
tatastasyātibhaktyāsau prāha tuṣṭo maheśvaraḥ | vibhūtīḥ svādharmajñānavairāgyaiśvaryameva ca
Bấy giờ, Maheśvara hoan hỷ trước lòng sùng kính mãnh liệt ấy, liền phán truyền ban cho các Vibhūti—những thần lực—cùng với tri kiến về chính pháp (dharma) của mình, tâm ly tham (vairāgya) và phú quý quyền uy chân thật.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa), narrating; Maheśvara is the granter
Tirtha: Maheśvara-sannidhi (unnamed)
Type: temple
Listener: Pāṇḍava-line listener addressed as ‘pārtha’ in the narration; outer frame to sages
Scene: Maheśvara, pleased, speaks a boon: rays of ash-white vibhūti and light flow toward the devotee; symbolic icons appear—dharma-śāstra palm-leaf (svadharma-jñāna), a renunciate’s staff (vairāgya), and a royal parasol or throne motif (aiśvarya).
Bhakti ripens into inner wealth—clarity of dharma, liberating knowledge, dispassion, and divinely ordered prosperity.
No specific sacred place is mentioned; the verse highlights Śiva’s grace as the source of vibhūti and virtue.
None directly; the implied discipline is intense devotion (ati-bhakti) as a spiritual means.
