तत्करिष्यायहं सर्वमाहैवं स जनार्दनः । एकैकशः स विबुधान्भक्षयिष्यति वाडवः
tatkariṣyāyahaṃ sarvamāhaivaṃ sa janārdanaḥ | ekaikaśaḥ sa vibudhānbhakṣayiṣyati vāḍavaḥ
“Aku akan melakukan semuanya,” kata Janārdana. Maka Vāḍava akan memakan para dewa satu demi satu.
Narrator (reporting Janārdana/Viṣṇu’s decision)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Janārdana assents—‘I will do all that’—and the fearsome Vāḍava begins consuming the gods one by one (a controlled, sequential devouring), with devas anxious yet trusting in Viṣṇu’s plan.
Divine governance in Purāṇas emphasizes order through disciplined, non-excessive action.
Prabhāsakṣetra remains the overarching sacred locus of the Māhātmya.
No ritual; the verse records acceptance of a remedial course of action (one-by-one).
