ईश्वर उवाच । अन्यद्दृष्टांतरूपं ते कथयामि यशस्विनि । येन सृष्टं महादेवि क्षेत्रमेतन्मम प्रियम्
īśvara uvāca | anyaddṛṣṭāṃtarūpaṃ te kathayāmi yaśasvini | yena sṛṣṭaṃ mahādevi kṣetrametanmama priyam
Dijo Īśvara: Oh ilustre, te contaré otro relato, de forma distinta; por él, oh gran Diosa, fue creado este campo sagrado, tan querido para mí.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)

Prabhāsa-kṣetra, introduced as the Lord’s beloved sacred field with a creation account.
None; it announces an origin-narrative that undergirds later prescriptions.
