धनुषां त्रिंशता देवि वरुणान्नैऋते स्थितम् । गौरीतपोवनाद्देवि दक्षिण स्थानसंस्थितम्
dhanuṣāṃ triṃśatā devi varuṇānnaiṛte sthitam | gaurītapovanāddevi dakṣiṇa sthānasaṃsthitam
હે દેવી! તે વરુણથી નૈઋત્ય દિશામાં ત્રીસ ધનુષ-પ્રમાણ દૂર સ્થિત છે, અને હે દેવી! ગૌરીના તપોવનના દક્ષિણમાં અવસ્થિત છે.
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Kumāreśvara (relative to Varuṇa-sthāna and Gaurī-tapovana)
Type: temple
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A pilgrim’s-eye map scene: markers for Varuṇa-sthāna, Gaurī’s tapovana (austere grove), and the Kumāreśvara shrine placed south-west/south with measured distance; subtle compass-like orientation in a sacred landscape.
The Purāṇa treats pilgrimage as lived sacred geography—precise directions link divine presence to real terrain and disciplined movement through holy space.
Kumāreśvara within Prabhāsa-kṣetra, described through its location relative to Varuṇa and Gaurī’s tapo-vana.
No direct ritual; this verse provides navigational/directional guidance for pilgrims.
