ખેંચે તેવા તંતુ, વધિ જઈ નિચે જે લટકતા;
જટાની શોભાથી, અતિશ શરમાઈ શિવ ઉઠ્યા,
— Narmad
Meaning
The pulling strands, which grew long and hung low; from the beauty of those matted locks, Shiva arose, feeling deeply shy.
Explanation
Imagine long, flowing strands of hair, like strong threads, growing and cascading downwards. This couplet paints a picture of Lord Shiva's magnificent matted locks, known as 'jata'. It says that the sheer beauty and grandeur of these locks were so striking that even Shiva himself felt a sense of shyness, almost surprised by their splendor, and rose from his seated position. It’s a poetic way to highlight the awe-inspiring nature of his divine form, suggesting that even the divine can be moved by beauty, even their own.
