तस्मात्पश्येच्च तं देवं सर्वयज्ञफलप्रदम् । शृणुयाच्च कथां चैनां सर्वपातकनाशिनीम्
tasmātpaśyecca taṃ devaṃ sarvayajñaphalapradam | śṛṇuyācca kathāṃ caināṃ sarvapātakanāśinīm
فلذلك ينبغي للمرء أن يُبصِر ذلك الإله (ديفا) الذي يمنح ثمرات جميع اليَجْنَات؛ وأن يُصغي أيضًا إلى هذه الحكاية بعينها، فهي مُهلكةٌ لكل الآثام.
Śiva (deduced from immediate context within Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Mūlasthāna)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pilgrims stand before the radiant presiding Deva of Prabhāsa; a reciter reads the māhātmya to an attentive assembly; above them symbolic yajña fires dissolve into the deity’s aura, indicating ‘all-yajña fruit’ through darśana.
Darśana (beholding the deity) and śravaṇa (hearing sacred kathā) are exalted as direct means to gain yajña-like merit and remove sin.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the setting; the verse promotes pilgrimage-style devotion—seeing the deity of the place and hearing its māhātmya.
The prescriptions are darśana of the deity and śravaṇa of the māhātmya-kathā.
