एवमुक्ते नरः प्राह पुनरेव जनार्द्दनम् । कथयस्व कथं पापात्कृष्ण शुद्ध्यामहे वयम्
evamukte naraḥ prāha punareva janārddanam | kathayasva kathaṃ pāpātkṛṣṇa śuddhyāmahe vayam
Als dies gesagt war, sprach Nara erneut zu Janārdana: „Sage uns, o Kṛṣṇa: Wie können wir von Sünde gereinigt werden?“
Nara (the man / petitioner)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (gateway to Prācī Sarasvatī instruction)
Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: Nara (the man) again addresses Janārdana with folded hands, asking the method to be purified from sin; Kṛṣṇa listens with composed compassion.
Humility and direct inquiry into dharma is presented as the doorway to purification.
The question prompts the revelation of Prācī Sarasvatī tīrtha as a purifier within Prabhāsa-kṣetra.
The verse asks for the method; the specific prescription follows in subsequent verses.
