श्रीमार्कण्डेय उवाच । प्रह्लादं सर्वधर्मज्ञं वेदशास्त्रार्थपारगम् । वैष्णवागमतत्त्वज्ञं भगवद्भक्तितत्परम्
śrīmārkaṇḍeya uvāca | prahlādaṃ sarvadharmajñaṃ vedaśāstrārthapāragam | vaiṣṇavāgamatattvajñaṃ bhagavadbhaktitatparam
ଶ୍ରୀ ମାର୍କଣ୍ଡେୟ କହିଲେ—ମୁଁ ପ୍ରହ୍ଲାଦଙ୍କ ବର୍ଣ୍ଣନା କରୁଛି; ସେ ସର୍ବଧର୍ମଜ୍ଞ, ବେଦ-ଶାସ୍ତ୍ରର ଅର୍ଥରେ ପାରଗାମୀ, ବୈଷ୍ଣବ ଆଗମର ତତ୍ତ୍ୱଜ୍ଞ ଏବଂ ଭଗବଦ୍ଭକ୍ତିରେ ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ନିମଗ୍ନ।
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Dvārakā (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Mārkaṇḍeya ṛṣi formally introduces Prahlāda as an ideal Vaiṣṇava teacher—serene, radiant, and scripturally accomplished—setting a didactic, pilgrimage-mahātmya tone.
Prahlāda is upheld as the model devotee—uniting scriptural insight with unwavering bhakti.
No single tīrtha is named in this verse; it serves as a narrative introduction within the Dvārakā Māhātmya context.
None; the verse is a eulogy/introduction highlighting qualifications in dharma and devotion.
