देवोपदिष्ट भार्यायां जातोऽयं तनयो मम । स च प्रश्नं वक्ष्यति त्वां श्रूयतामागतस्त्वतः
devopadiṣṭa bhāryāyāṃ jāto'yaṃ tanayo mama | sa ca praśnaṃ vakṣyati tvāṃ śrūyatāmāgatastvataḥ
神の御教えにより授けられた妻から、この我が子が生まれました。彼があなたに一つ問いを申し上げます——どうかお聞きください。そのために私はあなたのもとへ参りました。

Scene: A father-figure introduces his divinely-born son to Śrī Kṛṣṇa, explaining the purpose of their arrival: the son will ask a decisive question. The mood is formal, anticipatory, and reverent.
Purāṇic narratives frame birth and destiny under divine ordinance, encouraging reverence for providence and righteous inquiry.
No specific sacred place is referenced in this verse.
None; it sets context for a forthcoming question on śreyas (the highest good).
