ईश्वर उवाच । साधुसाधु महाप्राज्ञे तुष्टोऽहं व्रियतां वरः
īśvara uvāca | sādhusādhu mahāprājñe tuṣṭo'haṃ vriyatāṃ varaḥ
ઈશ્વરે કહ્યું—સાધુ સાધુ! હે મહાપ્રાજ્ઞે, હું પ્રસન્ન છું; ઇચ્છિત વર પસંદ કર।
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śiva speaks with benevolent authority, possibly raising a hand in boon-giving gesture (vara-mudrā/abhaya), addressing Devī as ‘mahāprājñā’; Devī listens, poised to choose a boon.
Devotion and wisdom, when offered with sincerity, invite divine grace—symbolized by the Lord offering a boon.
The boon-offering occurs within the Prabhāsa-kṣetra discourse, setting up the revelation of Prabhāsa’s māhātmya.
No explicit rite is prescribed; it highlights the fruit (phala) of praise and devotion.
