घुश्मेश्वरावतारस्तु द्वादशश्शंकरस्य हि ।। नानालीलाकरो घुश्मानन्ददो भक्तवत्सलः।। ५२ ।।
The incarnation of Śiva as Ghuśmeśvara is the twelfth wherein the lord indulged in different sports and conferred bliss on Ghuśmā. He is favourably disposed towards his devotees.
O sage, Śiva who is favourably disposed towards his devotees entirely revived the son of Ghuśmā who was killed by Sudehya. He was so pleased with her devotion.
