परितुष्टोऽस्मि ते चंद्र वरं वरय सुव्रत । कि ते कामं करोम्यद्य ब्रूहि यत्स्यात्सुदुर्ल्लभम्
parituṣṭo'smi te caṃdra varaṃ varaya suvrata | ki te kāmaṃ karomyadya brūhi yatsyātsudurllabham
ହେ ଚନ୍ଦ୍ର! ମୁଁ ତୁମପ୍ରତି ସମ୍ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ। ହେ ସୁବ୍ରତ! ଏକ ବର ଚୟନ କର। ଆଜି ତୁମର କେଉଁ ଇଚ୍ଛା ପୂରଣ କରିବି? ଯାହା ଅତ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଦୁର୍ଲଭ, ସେଥି ମଧ୍ୟ କହ।
Rudra/Śiva
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Rudra addresses Candra directly, with a gentle smile and boon-granting gesture (varada-mudrā). Candra stands attentive, poised to request a boon. The sacred atmosphere suggests a liṅga nearby and the sanctity of Prabhāsa.
Divine favor arises from disciplined devotion; when grace is granted, one should ask for what uplifts dharma and sacred worship.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Somnātha), as the boon dialogue frames the site’s sacred significance.
No direct prescription; the verse introduces the boon-granting moment that underlies later worship customs.
