जनकस्य कुले जाता विश्रुता जनकात्मजा । ख्याता वेदवती पूर्वं ब्रह्मविद्याघनाशिनी
janakasya kule jātā viśrutā janakātmajā | khyātā vedavatī pūrvaṃ brahmavidyāghanāśinī
Dans la lignée du roi Janaka naquit la célèbre fille de Janaka. Jadis, elle était connue sous le nom de Vedavatī, celle qui, par la connaissance de Brahman, dissipe l’épaisse ténèbre de l’ignorance.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) (deduced for Māheśvara-khaṇḍa narration)
Tirtha: Mithilā (Janaka-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Sītā as Janakī stands with serene radiance; behind her, a faint earlier-form overlay of Vedavatī as an ascetic woman holding a waterpot and kusa grass, symbolizing tapas and continuity; darkness (tamas) dissolves into light around her.
True fame is rooted in brahma-vidyā—knowledge that removes the darkness of ignorance.
The broader passage belongs to Kedāra-khaṇḍa (Kedāra/Kedārnātha kṣetra-māhātmya), though this verse itself is genealogical.
None explicitly in this verse; it introduces a sacred identity connected with spiritual knowledge.
