गत्वा धरातलं सर्वे ममादेशाद्द्रुतं ततः । स्वशक्त्या वारयध्वं भो गौतमेश्वरपूजकान्
gatvā dharātalaṃ sarve mamādeśāddrutaṃ tataḥ | svaśaktyā vārayadhvaṃ bho gautameśvarapūjakān
Vì thế, theo lệnh của ta, tất cả các ngươi hãy mau xuống cõi đất; và bằng chính năng lực của mình, hỡi chư thiên, hãy ngăn giữ những người thờ phụng Gautameśvara.
Indra (Purandara) (deduced: command issued after devas report to him)
Tirtha: Gautameśvara
Type: kshetra
Listener: a king (धराधिप) implied by surrounding context
Scene: Śakra/Indra issuing a swift command to divine agents to descend to earth and restrain the worshippers at Gautameśvara; a charged, martial-celestial moment before intervention.
The Purāṇas dramatize how divine systems react when grace becomes abundant, urging balance between devotion, pilgrimage, and ritual order.
Gautameśvara (within the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra complex) whose worship draws devotees in great numbers.
No prescription for devotees; it records Indra’s directive to the devas to obstruct/limit Gautameśvara worshippers.
