पितामहेन बहुधा वर्णितोसौ ममाग्रतः । शंकरोयमयं शभुरसौ पशुपतिः शिवः
pitāmahena bahudhā varṇitosau mamāgrataḥ | śaṃkaroyamayaṃ śabhurasau paśupatiḥ śivaḥ
“在我面前,祖父神(梵天)以多种方式称述他:‘此乃商羯罗;此乃商婆;他是牧主帕舒帕提——正是湿婆本尊。’”
Dakṣa
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Satī
Scene: Brahmā (Pitāmaha) is envisioned instructing Dakṣa, enumerating Śiva’s names; the names appear like a garland of syllables around a central Śiva-liṅga or Śiva form, indicating many descriptions of one deity.
Śiva’s many names indicate one Supreme reality known through diverse attributes and cosmic roles.
The Kāśī Khaṇḍa milieu underlies the passage, but no particular tīrtha is singled out in this verse.
None; it is identification and praise of Śiva through epithets.
