यत्र त्यक्तं शरीरं तु विष्णुना प्रभविष्णुना । तस्मिन्मित्रवने रम्ये योजनार्द्धार्द्धविस्तृते
yatra tyaktaṃ śarīraṃ tu viṣṇunā prabhaviṣṇunā | tasminmitravane ramye yojanārddhārddhavistṛte
જ્યાં પ્રભવિષ્ણુ એવા વિષ્ણુએ પોતાનું શરીર ત્યાગ્યું હતું. તે રમ્ય મિત્રવન અર્ધ યોજન જેટલું વિસ્તૃત છે.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Mitravana
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A luminous sacred grove (Mitravana) with flowering trees and a tranquil clearing; a subtle, ethereal Viṣṇu presence is suggested—either a fading divine form or a sanctified spot marked by a pedestal/footprints—conveying the mystery of ‘relinquishing the body’.
A tīrtha becomes supremely sacred through divine līlā and presence; the landscape holds memory of the deity’s acts.
Mitravana in Prabhāsa-kṣetra, associated with Viṣṇu (Prabhaviṣṇu).
No explicit rite is stated here; it establishes the sanctity and extent of the sacred forest.
