Muñjavān on Himavat: Maheśvara’s abode, Śiva-stuti, and sacrificial gold
Chapter 8
(तत्र गत्वा त्वमन्वास्य महायोगेश्वरं शिवम् । कुरु प्रणाम राजर्षे भकत्या परमया युत: ।।
tatra gatvā tvam anvāsya mahāyogeśvaraṃ śivam | kuru praṇāma rājarṣe bhaktyā paramayā yutaḥ || tasmai bhagavate kṛtvā namaḥ śarvāya vedhase | ebhis taṃ nāmabhir devaṃ sarvavidyādharaṃ stuhi ||
“你当往彼处去,亲近湿婆——大瑜伽自在主。王族圣仙啊,以至上虔敬向他顶礼。既向那位吉祥尊者致敬——口诵‘敬礼于舍婆(Śarva),敬礼于造物主’——便以这些名号赞颂那位具持一切知识的神明。”
संवर्त उवाच
Approach the divine with humility and wholehearted devotion: ethical action is strengthened when one first bows, offers reverence, and praises the Lord through sacred names, acknowledging Śiva as both yogic master and cosmic ordainer.
Saṃvarta instructs a royal sage to go to Śiva, respectfully approach him, offer prostration with supreme devotion, and then recite a hymn of praise using specific epithets such as Śarva and Vedhas.
