शिवं समाराध्य तमुग्रमू्र्त्तिं पपौ समुद्रं भगवानगस्त्यः । लेभे दिलीपोऽप्यखिलांश्च कामांस्तं विश्वयोनिं शरणं प्रपद्ये
śivaṃ samārādhya tamugramū्rttiṃ papau samudraṃ bhagavānagastyaḥ | lebhe dilīpo'pyakhilāṃśca kāmāṃstaṃ viśvayoniṃ śaraṇaṃ prapadye
Sau khi chí thành thờ phụng Śiva trong hình tướng uy mãnh, bậc phúc đức Agastya đã uống cạn đại dương; và vua Dilīpa cũng đạt được mọi điều ước. Con xin nương tựa nơi Đấng là nguồn-gốc, là thai tạng của vũ trụ.

Type: kshetra
Scene: Two vignettes around the central Śiva: Agastya, after worshiping an ugra Śiva, drinks the ocean; King Dilīpa receives boons and prosperity. Above all, Śiva is shown as the womb-source of the universe, with cosmic imagery emerging from him.
Proper worship of Śiva brings extraordinary divine aid and fulfillment, culminating in refuge in the cosmic source.
Prabhāsakṣetra is the setting; the verse supports the māhātmya theme that Śiva’s worship at sacred contexts yields great results.
Samārādhana/ārādhana (proper worship) of Śiva is implied as the efficacious practice; no specific items or vows are listed.
