Śiva-nāmānukīrtana-prastāvaḥ
Prologue to the praise of Śiva and the Upamanyu testimony
सो<5पि शड्करमाराध्य प्राप्तवानतुलं यश: । पराशरजीके पुत्र मुनिवर वेदव्यास तो योगके स्वरूप ही हैं। उन्होंने भी शंकरजीकी आराधना करके वह महान् यश पा लिया, जिसकी कहीं तुलना नहीं है ।।
so 'pi śaṅkaram ārādhya prāptavān atulaṃ yaśaḥ | parāśarajīke putra munivara vedavyāsa to yogake svarūpa hī haiṃ | unhoṃne bhī śaṅkarajī kī ārādhanā karke vaha mahān yaś pā liyā, jisakī kahīṃ tulanā nahīṃ hai || bālakhilyā maghavatā hy avajñātāḥ purā kila
婆苏提婆说道:“他也同样,礼敬供奉商羯罗(湿婆)之后,获得了无与伦比的声名。圣仙毗耶娑——波罗沙罗之子、诸见者中最胜者——本身即是瑜伽之体;他亦因敬拜大自在天湿婆而赢得那无可比拟的伟大荣光。确实,在往昔之时,婆罗契利耶诸仙曾一度被摩伽婆(因陀罗)轻慢。”
वासुदेव उवाच
Reverent devotion to Śiva (Śaṅkara) yields incomparable spiritual and moral stature, and one should never belittle ascetics; disrespect toward sages brings ethical and karmic consequences.
Vāsudeva cites Vyāsa—son of Parāśara and embodiment of Yoga—as an example of one who gained unmatched renown through worship of Śiva, then transitions to an older episode where Indra (Maghavat) once slighted the Bālakhilya sages, setting up a cautionary exemplum about honoring holy persons.
