Skanda (deduced: Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Kathā-audience within Prabhāsa-māhātmya frame
Scene: Kṛṣṇa (Madhusūdana), mighty-armed, stands unmoving amid chaos, gripping a club; his face calm yet grave, eyes reflecting knowledge of Time’s turn; fallen Yādavas around him, coastal grove behind.
The wise recognize Kāla’s inevitability and meet it with steadiness rather than confusion.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, the sacred setting for this climactic Purāṇic event.
None directly; the verse highlights discernment of Kāla and resolute composure.
