Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 113

Devanagari script

ऊषराणां च सर्वेषां प्रभासक्षेत्रमूषरम् । पीठानां चैव पीठं च क्षेत्राणां क्षेत्रमुत्तमम् । सन्देहानां च सर्वेषामयं संदेह उत्तमः

Transliteration

ūṣarāṇāṃ ca sarveṣāṃ prabhāsakṣetramūṣaram | pīṭhānāṃ caiva pīṭhaṃ ca kṣetrāṇāṃ kṣetramuttamam | sandehānāṃ ca sarveṣāmayaṃ saṃdeha uttamaḥ

Translation

Unter allen heiligen ūṣara ist Prabhāsakṣetra das höchste ūṣara; unter allen pīṭha ist es das pīṭha; unter allen heiligen Feldern ist es das erhabenste kṣetra. Und unter allen Zweifeln ist dieser Zweifel der vornehmste (würdig, hier gelöst zu werden).

FAQs

Certain tīrthas are extolled as uniquely potent centers where dharma, worship, and spiritual clarity converge.

Prabhāsakṣetra is proclaimed the foremost among sacred places and power-seats.

No direct ritual is prescribed; the verse chiefly establishes Prabhāsa’s supreme status among kṣetras and pīṭhas.
