जगद्गुरुं मङ्गलमङ्गलं स्वयम् ।
यः क्षत्रबन्धुः परिभूय सूरीन्
प्रशास्ति धृष्टस्तदयं हि दण्ड्यः ॥१३॥
eá¹£Äm anudhyeya-padÄbja-yugmaá¹
jagad-guruá¹ maá¹…gala-maá¹…galaá¹ svayam
yaḥ kṣatra-bandhuḥ paribhūya sūrīn
praÅ›Ästi dhṛṣá¹as tad ayaá¹ hi daṇá¸yaḥ
eá¹£Äm - of all these (exalted personalities); anudhyeya - to be constantly meditated upon; pada-abja-yugmam - whose two lotus feet; jagat-gurum - the spiritual master of the whole world; maá¹…gala-maá¹…galam - personification of the topmost religious principle; svayam - himself; yaḥ - he who; ká¹£atra-bandhuḥ - the lowest of the ká¹£atriyas; paribhÅ«ya - overriding; sÅ«rÄ«n - the demigods (like BrahmÄ and the others); praÅ›Ästi - chastises; dhṛṣá¹aḥ - impudent; tat - therefore; ayam - this person; hi - indeed; daṇá¸yaḥ - to be punished.
This Citraketu is the lowest of ká¹£atriyas, for he has impudently overridden BrahmÄ and the other demigods by insulting Lord Åšiva, upon whose lotus feet they always meditate. Lord Åšiva is personified religion and the spiritual master of the entire world, and therefore Citraketu must be punished.
All the members of the assembly were exalted brÄhmaṇas and self-realized souls, but they did not say anything about the conduct of Lord Åšiva, who was embracing the goddess PÄrvatÄ« on his lap. Citraketu nonetheless criticized Lord Åšiva, and therefore the opinion of PÄrvatÄ« was that he should be punished.
