यदि तुष्टोऽसि मे देव वरं दातुं ममेच्छसि । तन्मे कथय देवेश सांप्रतं तीर्थविस्तरम्
yadi tuṣṭo'si me deva varaṃ dātuṃ mamecchasi | tanme kathaya deveśa sāṃprataṃ tīrthavistaram
हे देव! तू माझ्यावर प्रसन्न असशील आणि मला वर द्यावयास इच्छित असशील, तर हे देवेश, आत्ताच मला तीर्थांचा संपूर्ण विस्तार सांग.
Devī (Pārvatī)
Pilgrimage knowledge (tīrtha-vistara) is treated as a boon—spiritual geography is a sacred teaching.
Prabhāsakṣetra forms the narrative base; the verse initiates a broader survey of tīrthas across the world.
No direct rite; the request anticipates teachings on visiting, bathing, and hearing about tīrthas.
