यो यस्मिन्देवता तत्त्वे सा तन्माहात्म्यसूचिका । औदकं च महातत्त्वं विष्णोश्चातिप्रियं प्रिये
yo yasmindevatā tattve sā tanmāhātmyasūcikā | audakaṃ ca mahātattvaṃ viṣṇoścātipriyaṃ priye
Quelle que soit la divinité dite résider dans tel tattva, cette demeure même révèle la grandeur de ce principe. Et le grand principe aqueux (audaka) est infiniment cher à Viṣṇu, ô bien-aimée.
Skanda (deduced; addressing 'priye')
Tirtha: Audaka Mahā-tattva (water-principle) as a tattva-tīrtha focus
Type: kshetra
Listener: Addressed as ‘priye’ (beloved), consistent with an intimate teacher-to-listener frame
Scene: A teacher points to a cosmological chart where tattvas are arranged as elements; deities sit upon their respective principles. The watery mahā-tattva is shown as a luminous ocean-lotus with Viṣṇu seated, indicating special affection; the listener receives the doctrinal key.
Deity–tattva associations are not arbitrary; they reveal the spiritual excellence of each principle, with water especially cherished by Viṣṇu.
The focus is conceptual: the audaka (water) tattva underlying water-based tīrthas within Prabhāsa-kṣetra.
No explicit prescription; it provides interpretive guidance for understanding water-tīrtha sanctity.
