कराच्छाकरसो जातः कुशाग्रेणेति नः श्रुतम् । स तं दृष्ट्वा महाश्चर्यं विस्मयं परमं गतः
karācchākaraso jātaḥ kuśāgreṇeti naḥ śrutam | sa taṃ dṛṣṭvā mahāścaryaṃ vismayaṃ paramaṃ gataḥ
ଆମେ ଶୁଣିଛୁ—କୁଶର ଅଗ୍ରଭାଗରେ ବିଦ୍ଧ ହେବାରୁ ତାଙ୍କ ହାତରୁ ଶର୍କରାସଦୃଶ ମଧୁର ରସ ନିସ୍ସୃତ ହେଲା। ସେଇ ମହା ଆଶ୍ଚର୍ଯ୍ୟ ଦେଖି ସେ ପରମ ବିସ୍ମୟରେ ପଡ଼ିଲେ।
Śiva (deduced: continuing narration to Devī)
Tirtha: Maṃkīśvara (via Maṅkaṇaka miracle-cycle)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Close scene: the ṛṣi’s pricked finger releases a gleaming sweet sap; he stares in astonishment, eyes wide yet inwardly absorbed; the kuśa tip is visible; the air shimmers with tapas-tejas.
Extraordinary signs can arise, but they should lead to deeper humility rather than pride in attainment.
The incident is narrated within Prabhāsa-kṣetra’s praise-context, contributing to its sacred narrative landscape.
No direct prescription; kuśa appears as a sacred ritual plant, but here it functions as a narrative instrument.
