भोभोस्तारक तुष्टोऽस्मि साहसं मेदृशं कुरु । प्रार्थयस्व मनोऽभीष्टं येन ते प्रददाम्यहम्
bhobhostāraka tuṣṭo'smi sāhasaṃ medṛśaṃ kuru | prārthayasva mano'bhīṣṭaṃ yena te pradadāmyaham
“Hỡi Tāraka, ta rất hài lòng. Hãy cho ta biết thỉnh cầu táo bạo của ngươi. Hãy cầu xin điều trái tim ngươi khao khát, để ta có thể ban nó cho ngươi.”
Śiva (Mahādeva/Rudra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva, smiling, leans slightly forward on Nandi, right hand in varada-mudrā; gaṇas form a semicircle; the petitioner stands with folded hands, poised to speak; the air glows with auspicious light.
When the deity is pleased, the devotee is invited to articulate intention—showing that boons follow divine satisfaction and clarity of desire.
Gokarṇa is the implied sacred setting where Śiva’s boon-bestowal occurs.
None explicitly; the verse is the boon-offering moment (vara-pradāna).
