पुत्रार्थी लभते पुत्रं धनार्थी लभते धनम् । कन्यार्थी लभते कन्यां विद्यार्थी वेदविद्भवेत्
putrārthī labhate putraṃ dhanārthī labhate dhanam | kanyārthī labhate kanyāṃ vidyārthī vedavidbhavet
ପୁତ୍ରାର୍ଥୀ ପୁତ୍ର ପାଏ, ଧନାର୍ଥୀ ଧନ ପାଏ। କନ୍ୟାର୍ଥୀ କନ୍ୟା ପାଏ, ବିଦ୍ୟାର୍ଥୀ ବେଦବିଦ୍ ହୁଏ।
Skanda (deduced from phala-śruti style in Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Arka/Ravi upāsanā)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Unspecified inquirer
Scene: Four vignettes around a central Sūrya shrine: a couple praying for a child, a householder receiving wealth, parents seeking a daughter’s welfare, and a student gaining Vedic insight—each linked by Sūrya’s rays.
Dharmic devotion is portrayed as supporting righteous life-goals—family, prosperity, and sacred learning.
Prabhāsakṣetra, in the context of Sūrya worship whose fruits are being praised.
The verse states results of worship; the implied prescription is to worship Ravi as earlier taught to obtain these aims.
