निषंगे जलमादाय क्षुत्पिपासार्द्दितो भृशम् । एकदा निशि पापीयाच्छ्रीवृक्षोपरि संस्थितः । कोलं हंतुं धनुष्पाणिर्जाग्रच्चानिमिषेण हि
niṣaṃge jalamādāya kṣutpipāsārddito bhṛśam | ekadā niśi pāpīyācchrīvṛkṣopari saṃsthitaḥ | kolaṃ haṃtuṃ dhanuṣpāṇirjāgraccānimiṣeṇa hi
Mang nước trong ống tên và bị hành hạ dữ dội bởi đói khát, kẻ tội lỗi ấy có lần vào ban đêm ngồi trên cây Śrīvṛkṣa. Tay cầm cung, hắn thức canh không chớp mắt, quyết giết một con lợn rừng.
Lomaśa (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Śrīvṛkṣa (within Kedāra narrative)
Type: kund
Scene: Night scene: the hunter perched on a sacred tree (Śrīvṛkṣa), bow drawn, eyes wide and unblinking; moonlight filters through leaves; below, a boar’s trail is suggested; the mood is tense yet charged with impending spiritual reversal.
Even a vigil undertaken for sin can, in a sacred Śaiva setting, become the doorway to unintended merit.
The Śrīvṛkṣa locale in Kedārakhaṇḍa, connected with a Śiva-liṅga and worship that arises from circumstance.
Implied jāgaraṇa (night-long wakefulness), later reinterpreted as part of Śiva devotion in the narrative.
