एवमुक्त्वा सत्यव्रतशरीरात्पाशसंयुतः । अंगुष्ठमात्रं पुरुषं निचकर्ष यमो बलात्
evamuktvā satyavrataśarīrātpāśasaṃyutaḥ | aṃguṣṭhamātraṃ puruṣaṃ nicakarṣa yamo balāt
એમ કહીને પાશધારી યમે સત્યવ્રતના શરીરમાંથી અંગૂઠાના માપ જેટલા પુરુષને બળપૂર્વક ખેંચી કાઢ્યો.
Narrator (Purāṇic narration; speaker not explicit in this verse)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Yama, holding the noose, draws out from Satyavrata’s body a tiny thumb-sized puruṣa—an ethereal figure emerging from the chest or crown—while Sāvitrī witnesses.
Life is depicted as a subtle, extractable principle under cosmic law—death is not random but administered within dharma’s jurisdiction.
The verse is part of Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya’s narrative tapestry; it does not itself praise a named tīrtha.
None; it is a descriptive account of Yama’s act.
