चाक्षुषस्यान्तरेऽतीते प्राप्ते वैवस्वतेऽन्तरे । दक्षापमानात्संजाता तदा पर्वतपुत्रिका
cākṣuṣasyāntare'tīte prāpte vaivasvate'ntare | dakṣāpamānātsaṃjātā tadā parvataputrikā
ચાક્ષુષ મન્વંતર પસાર થઈ વૈવસ્વત મન્વંતર આવતા, દક્ષના અપમાનથી પ્રેરિત થઈ ત્યારે પર્વતપુત્રી (દેવી) ફરી પ્રગટ થઈ.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Listener: Devī
Scene: A cosmic narration: the passing of Cākṣuṣa Manvantara and the advent of Vaivasvata; from the wound of Dakṣa’s insult arises the Mountain’s Daughter—Devī’s renewed embodiment.
Purāṇic events unfold within cosmic cycles; even suffering and insult (apamāna) become causes in the divine order leading to renewed manifestation.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the narrative setting; this verse supplies mythic chronology supporting the māhātmya’s authority.
None; the verse is primarily cosmological and etiological (origin-explaining).
