के मन्त्राः किं विधानं तद्बाह्मणास्तत्र कीदृशाः । तत्र स्थितानां विप्राणां कथं क्षेत्रफलं भवेत्
ke mantrāḥ kiṃ vidhānaṃ tadbāhmaṇāstatra kīdṛśāḥ | tatra sthitānāṃ viprāṇāṃ kathaṃ kṣetraphalaṃ bhavet
Quels mantras faut-il réciter, et quel est le rite prescrit ? Quels brāhmaṇas se trouvent là ? Et pour les vipras qui y demeurent, comment s’acquiert le mérite sacré du kṣetra ?
Devī
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee asks about mantras, ritual procedure, and the nature of brāhmaṇas dwelling in Prabhāsa-kṣetra; the sea-bounded sacred field is implied as the backdrop.
Sacred places have defined disciplines—mantra, procedure, and conduct—through which merit is properly realized.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, discussed as a place where mantra, ritual order, and kṣetra-merit are especially significant.
The verse asks about mantras and vidhāna (procedure) and about how kṣetra-phala is obtained, but does not provide the prescriptions yet.
