गुप्तचर्यां यदा याताः पांडवा वनवासिनः । तीर्थयात्राप्रसंगेन प्रभासं क्षेत्रमागताः
guptacaryāṃ yadā yātāḥ pāṃḍavā vanavāsinaḥ | tīrthayātrāprasaṃgena prabhāsaṃ kṣetramāgatāḥ
जेव्हा वनवासी पांडव गुप्तचर्येत (अज्ञातवासात) गेले, तेव्हा तीर्थयात्रेच्या निमित्ताने ते प्रभास क्षेत्रात आले.
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: The five Pāṇḍavas in forest attire travel as pilgrims toward Prabhāsa, carrying minimal gear, moving with alertness of incognito life; the sacred coastline/river-mouth landscape appears ahead.
Even amid hardship, the righteous uphold pilgrimage and sacred observances, turning travel into dharma.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, presented as a destination within the Pāṇḍavas’ tīrtha-yātrā.
No direct rite; it frames the context of tīrtha-yātrā (pilgrimage) as the motivating occasion.
