ईश्वर उवाच । अन्यद्दृष्टांतरूपं ते कथयामि यशस्विनि । येन सृष्टं महादेवि क्षेत्रमेतन्मम प्रियम्
īśvara uvāca | anyaddṛṣṭāṃtarūpaṃ te kathayāmi yaśasvini | yena sṛṣṭaṃ mahādevi kṣetrametanmama priyam
ঈশ্বৰে ক’লে: হে যশস্বিনী, মই তোমাক অন্য এক বৃত্তান্ত, ভিন্ন ৰূপৰ, ক’ম—হে মহাদেৱী—যাৰ দ্বাৰা মোৰ প্ৰিয় এই ক্ষেত্ৰ সৃষ্টি হ’ল।
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Śiva begins a fresh, alternate-form narrative: a luminous teaching moment where the cosmos seems to open behind him as he explains how his beloved Prabhāsa-kṣetra came into being.
A kṣetra’s holiness is grounded in divine origin narratives that reveal why it is especially dear to the deity.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, introduced as the Lord’s beloved sacred field with a creation account.
None; it announces an origin-narrative that undergirds later prescriptions.
