तस्यां रात्रौ हि मे पूजां यः करिष्यति मानवः । मंत्रैरेतैः सुरश्रेष्ठ विपाप्मा स भविष्यति
tasyāṃ rātrau hi me pūjāṃ yaḥ kariṣyati mānavaḥ | maṃtrairetaiḥ suraśreṣṭha vipāpmā sa bhaviṣyati
Quả thật, người nào trong đêm ấy cử hành lễ thờ phụng Ta bằng các thần chú này, hỡi bậc tối thượng trong chư thiên, người ấy sẽ trở nên vô tội.
Śiva
Type: kshetra
Listener: surश्रेष्ठ (addressed as ‘best of the gods’ within the narrative frame)
Scene: A devotee performs night-time Śiva worship at a tīrtha shrine, lamp-light flickering, offering flowers and arghya, with an atmosphere of solemn purification and vow.
Mantra-guided worship on Śivarātri is presented as a direct means to become free from sin.
The verse emphasizes the sacred night and method (mantra-pūjā) rather than a single geographical tīrtha.
Perform Śiva-pūjā on that night using the specified mantras (as given in the surrounding text).
