उवाच परमं वाक्यं तलं दैत्याधिनायकम् । वरं वरय दैत्येंद्र यत्ते मनसि संस्थितम्
uvāca paramaṃ vākyaṃ talaṃ daityādhināyakam | varaṃ varaya daityeṃdra yatte manasi saṃsthitam
主は、魔族の統率者タラに向かい至上の言葉を告げられた。「願い(ヴァラ)を選べ、ダイティヤの王よ。汝の心に宿るものをそのまま求めよ。」
Viṣṇu (speaking to Tala)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Viṣṇu addresses Tala, the daitya-leader, offering a boon; the moment is poised, formal, and charged with cosmic authority.
Divine sovereignty includes mercy: the Lord can subdue and still uplift, offering a boon even to an adversary.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the māhātmya framework in which this boon-granting moment is remembered.
No ritual is prescribed; the verse centers on vara-dāna (granting of a boon) as a theological motif.
