एतस्मिन्नन्तरे देवि सौरं तेजः प्रसर्प्पितम् । तेन पावित्र्यमानीतं क्षेत्रं द्वादशयोजनम्
etasminnantare devi sauraṃ tejaḥ prasarppitam | tena pāvitryamānītaṃ kṣetraṃ dvādaśayojanam
इसी अंतराल में, हे देवी, सौर तेज फैल उठा; उसी प्रभा से बारह योजन-विस्तृत यह क्षेत्र पवित्रता को प्राप्त हुआ।
Śiva (deduced: addressing Devī in a māhātmya narrative)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī/Pārvatī
Scene: A vast coastal sacred field illuminated by a spreading solar aura; the radiance forms a luminous dome/mandala over Prabhāsa, indicating a twelve-yojana sanctified expanse.
Divine presence—here expressed as the Sun’s radiance—consecrates a landscape and turns it into a field of merit (puṇya).
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, praised as a vast sanctified region measured as twelve yojanas.
No direct ritual is prescribed here; the verse establishes the sanctity and extent of the kṣetra as the basis for later rites and merits.
