Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 33
किमत्र कारणं ब्रह्मन्सर्वेभ्योऽप्यधिकं स्मृतम् । सर्वं विस्तरतो ब्रूहि परं कौतूहलं हि मे
kimatra kāraṇaṃ brahmansarvebhyo'pyadhikaṃ smṛtam | sarvaṃ vistarato brūhi paraṃ kautūhalaṃ hi me
Quelle en est la raison, ô brahmane, pour qu’on s’en souvienne comme supérieure à toutes les autres? Dis-moi tout en détail, car ma curiosité est ardente.
Yayāti
Tirtha: Rūpatīrtha
Type: kund
Listener: Brahmin narrator (addressed)
Scene: Yayāti leans forward with earnest eyes, palms joined yet questioning; the Brahmin-sage prepares to narrate the origin; scrolls or a water-pot beside him; the tirtha glows quietly in the background.
FAQs
Dharmic inquiry is valued: seekers are encouraged to ask for the causes behind a tīrtha’s greatness, not merely hear results.
Rūpatīrtha remains the subject; Yayāti asks why it is considered greater than all other tīrthas.
None; the verse is an invitation to a fuller kathā (detailed sacred narrative).
