पार्वत्युवाच । भगवन्विस्तरं ब्रूहि कर्दमालमहोदयम् । उत्पत्तिं च विधानं च क्षेत्रसीमादिकं क्रमात्
pārvatyuvāca | bhagavanvistaraṃ brūhi kardamālamahodayam | utpattiṃ ca vidhānaṃ ca kṣetrasīmādikaṃ kramāt
Pārvatī dit : «Ô Seigneur, expose en détail la grande gloire de Kardamālā : son origine, ses rites, et, dans l’ordre convenable, les limites du champ sacré et tout ce qui s’y rapporte.»
Pārvatī
Tirtha: Kardamālā
Type: kshetra
Listener: Īśvara (Śiva)
Scene: Pārvatī, seated beside Īśvara, respectfully asks for the detailed glory of Kardamālā—its origin, rites, and the mapped limits of the sacred field.
True devotion seeks complete understanding—origin, practice, and sacred geography—so pilgrimage is performed with knowledge and reverence.
Kardamālā (a tīrtha/kṣetra within Prabhāsakṣetra) is the focus.
A request for vidhāna (procedural rules) is made, implying there are specific rites associated with Kardamālā to be explained next.
