कर्तुं धर्मव्यवस्थानमसुराणां प्रणाशनः । पूर्वजन्मनि विष्णुः स प्रमतिर्नाम वीर्यवान्

ଧର୍ମବ୍ୟବସ୍ଥା ସ୍ଥାପନ ଓ ଅସୁରବିନାଶ ପାଇଁ, ପୂର୍ବଜନ୍ମରେ ସେଇ ବିଷ୍ଣୁ ‘ପ୍ରମତି’ ନାମକ ପରାକ୍ରମୀ ଥିଲେ।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) speaking to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A prophetic narrator in Prabhāsa recounts Viṣṇu’s former birth as the mighty Pramati, emphasizing the mission: establish dharma, destroy asuras; the sacred coastal landscape and Somnātha’s aura linger in the background.
Divine power is not arbitrary; it appears to stabilize dharma and remove forces that oppose cosmic order.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the contextual tīrtha for the chapter’s teaching.
None; the verse is explanatory about purpose and prior identity.
