Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 33
किमत्र कारणं ब्रह्मन्सर्वेभ्योऽप्यधिकं स्मृतम् । सर्वं विस्तरतो ब्रूहि परं कौतूहलं हि मे
kimatra kāraṇaṃ brahmansarvebhyo'pyadhikaṃ smṛtam | sarvaṃ vistarato brūhi paraṃ kautūhalaṃ hi me
ما السبب يا أيها البراهمن في أن هذا يُذكَر أنه أسمى من جميع غيره؟ فحدّثني بكل تفصيل، فإن شوقي إلى المعرفة شديد.
Yayāti
Tirtha: Rūpatīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Brahmin narrator (addressed)
Scene: Yayāti leans forward with earnest eyes, palms joined yet questioning; the Brahmin-sage prepares to narrate the origin; scrolls or a water-pot beside him; the tirtha glows quietly in the background.
FAQs
Dharmic inquiry is valued: seekers are encouraged to ask for the causes behind a tīrtha’s greatness, not merely hear results.
Rūpatīrtha remains the subject; Yayāti asks why it is considered greater than all other tīrthas.
None; the verse is an invitation to a fuller kathā (detailed sacred narrative).
