महाबलो महाकायो योजनायुतविस्तरः । अजेयः सर्वदेवानां त्रैलोक्यक्षयकारकः । ब्रह्मणा तस्य तुष्टेन वरो दत्तो वरानने
mahābalo mahākāyo yojanāyutavistaraḥ | ajeyaḥ sarvadevānāṃ trailokyakṣayakārakaḥ | brahmaṇā tasya tuṣṭena varo datto varānane
ସେ ମହାବଳୀ, ମହାକାୟ ଏବଂ ଦଶ ସହସ୍ର ଯୋଜନ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ବିସ୍ତୃତ ଥିଲା; ସମସ୍ତ ଦେବତାଙ୍କ ପାଇଁ ଅଜେୟ ଏବଂ ତ୍ରିଲୋକର କ୍ଷୟକାରକ ଥିଲା। ହେ ବରାନନେ, ତାହାରେ ପ୍ରସନ୍ନ ହୋଇ ବ୍ରହ୍ମା ତାକୁ ଏକ ବର ଦେଲେ।
Śiva (Īśvara)
Tirtha: Pādukāsana/Ādinārāyaṇa complex (narrative backdrop)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: A colossal asura Meghavāhana dominates the frame, spanning vast distances; devas appear dwarfed and distressed; Brahmā, serene yet consequential, grants a boon—foreshadowing the paradox of divine gifts.
Power without dharma becomes a threat to cosmic order; boons test the moral direction of the recipient.
Indirectly Prabhāsa-kṣetra, since the legend is embedded in its māhātmya to explain sacred significance.
None; this verse is descriptive narrative setting up the boon and its consequences.
