«សូមឲ្យមនុស្សទាំងឡាយទៅកាន់សត្យលោក; សូមឲ្យទេវតាទាំងឡាយចុះមកលើផែនដី។ ហើយសូមឲ្យព្រះសង្ករ ប្រទានពរដល់រាក្សស ដានវ និងដៃត្យ»។
Narrator (Purāṇic narration; speaker not explicit in this verse)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra (Prabhāsa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Assembled council of devas and allied beings
Scene: A decree-like scene: celestial scribes and devas witness as the destinies are pronounced—humans uplifted to Satyaloka, devas descending to earth for a mission, and Śaṅkara poised to grant boons to rākṣasas/dānavas/daityas, balancing the cosmic ledger.
FAQs
The Purāṇas depict dharma as cosmic administration: beings are assigned realms and outcomes under divine governance, with Śiva as the granter of results.
The setting remains Vastrāpatha-kṣetra in the Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa, where events unfold to establish the kṣetra’s sacred order.
No explicit ritual is stated; the verse concerns allocation of realms and Śiva’s dispensation of boons.
