पूर्वोचितां प्रभां सोम प्राप्स्यसे मत्प्रसादतः । प्राचेतसस्य दक्षस्य तपसा हतपाप्मनः
pūrvocitāṃ prabhāṃ soma prāpsyase matprasādataḥ | prācetasasya dakṣasya tapasā hatapāpmanaḥ
हे सोमा! माझ्या कृपेने आणि ज्यांची पापे नष्ट झाली आहेत अशा प्राचेतस दक्षाच्या तपश्चर्येमुळे तुला तुझी पूर्वीची प्रभा पुन्हा प्राप्त होईल.
Śiva (Śaṃbhu)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Soma
Scene: A luminous Soma stands humbled before a deity-bestowing boon; the aura of lost radiance returns as a soft halo, while Dakṣa’s tapas is evoked by ascetic fire and prayerful posture in the background.
Grace and austerity together purify and restore: divine favor operates in harmony with dharmic effort and purification.
Prabhāsakṣetra, where Śiva’s prasāda is depicted as restoring cosmic luminosity (the Moon’s splendor).
Tapas is affirmed as a purifier (hatapāpmanaḥ), though no specific vow or rite is detailed in this verse.
