प्राजापत्यं यदा ऋक्षं तिथौ तस्यां भवेद्यदि । सा महाकार्तिकी पुण्या देवानामपि दुर्लभा
prājāpatyaṃ yadā ṛkṣaṃ tithau tasyāṃ bhavedyadi | sā mahākārtikī puṇyā devānāmapi durlabhā
បើនៅលើទិថិនោះឯង នក្ខត្រ ប្រាជាបត្យៈ កើតឡើង នោះកាតិកីនោះក្លាយជាមហាកាតិកីដ៏បរិសុទ្ធ និងអស្ចារ្យ—កម្រណាស់សូម្បីតែសម្រាប់ទេវតាទាំងឡាយ។
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Kṛṣṇa
Scene: A ‘rare even for gods’ night at Prabhāsa: the sky is emphasized with bright constellations; pilgrims perform intensified worship, lamps and offerings filling the shoreline/temple precinct.
Rare cosmic alignments intensify dharma and merit, making certain observances exceptionally fruitful.
The context remains Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where such sacred timing is especially celebrated.
Honoring Kārtikī when the Prājāpatya nakṣatra coincides, recognizing it as Mahākārtikī.
