तस्मान्नैव धरिष्यामि लिंगमेतद्धरातलात् । किमनेन करिष्यामि भार्यया परिवर्जितः
tasmānnaiva dhariṣyāmi liṃgametaddharātalāt | kimanena kariṣyāmi bhāryayā parivarjitaḥ
Vì thế, ta sẽ không còn nâng giữ Liṅga này trên mặt đất nữa. Ta còn làm gì với nó khi đã lìa xa hiền thê?
Śiva
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva, bereft of Satī, speaks in sorrow, refusing to uphold the liṅga; devas stand concerned, the liṅga grounded on earth as a heavy, sacred burden.
The Purāṇa portrays even the divine as engaging human-like grief, teaching compassion and the need for restoration through devotion.
The tīrtha’s greatness is indirectly highlighted by the cosmic importance attached to the Liṅga’s placement and support.
None stated; the narrative sets up the necessity of continued worship and divine reassurance.
