Sacred geography and tīrtha-māhātmya are presented as esoteric knowledge, transmitted through divine instruction to the devoted.

The context continues the Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya; this verse introduces a further ‘secret’ about the same sacred region.

None; it is an introductory narrative verse announcing a confidential teaching.
