स्मृतं तद्वैष्णवं क्षेत्रं नाम्ना देवि सुदर्शनम् । धन्वंतराणि षट्त्रिंशत्समंतात्परिमण्डलम्
smṛtaṃ tadvaiṣṇavaṃ kṣetraṃ nāmnā devi sudarśanam | dhanvaṃtarāṇi ṣaṭtriṃśatsamaṃtātparimaṇḍalam
Wahai Dewi, wilayah suci itu dikenang sebagai kṣetra Vaiṣṇava, masyhur dengan nama Sudarśana. Ia membentuk hamparan bulat yang meluas tiga puluh enam dhanvantara ke segala arah.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Sudarśana-kṣetra (Vaiṣṇava-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī
Scene: A sacred circular mandala-map of Sudarśana-kṣetra is evoked, radiating from the center across a measured expanse; the idea of a protective divine disc overlays the landscape.
A holy kṣetra is not merely a point on a map; it is a divinely charged sacred region whose very name and extent are preserved in tradition for pilgrimage and dharma.
A Vaiṣṇava sacred region called “Sudarśana” within the Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya (Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa).
No specific rite is prescribed here; the verse defines the sanctity and geographic extent of the kṣetra.
