एवं क्रमेण देवेशि समुत्पन्नमिदं जगत् । शशिसूर्यविभागेन चित्ररूपमनंतकम्
evaṃ krameṇa deveśi samutpannamidaṃ jagat | śaśisūryavibhāgena citrarūpamanaṃtakam
હે દેવેશિ! આ રીતે ક્રમે ક્રમે આ જગત ઉત્પન્ન થયું; ચંદ્ર-સૂર્યના વિભાગથી તે અનંત અને નાનારૂપ બન્યું.
Śiva
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra

Creation unfolds in ordered stages; recognizing cosmic order supports disciplined dharma and reverence for the divine.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra; the Māhātmya frames cosmic teaching as part of the sanctity of the sacred region.
No ritual is stated; the verse explains a cosmological principle.
