यदाद्य भागजं तेजस्तत्प्रभासेऽपतत्प्रिये । पतितं तत्र तत्तेजः स्थलाकारं व्यजायत
yadādya bhāgajaṃ tejastatprabhāse'patatpriye | patitaṃ tatra tattejaḥ sthalākāraṃ vyajāyata
A porção de fulgor que foi cortada primeiro, ó amada, caiu em Prabhāsa; e esse fulgor, ao cair ali, tomou a forma de um lugar sagrado, um solo manifestado.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (addressed as 'priye')
Scene: A stream of primordial radiance is severed from a cosmic source and descends like a golden-white meteor onto the shore of Prabhāsa; upon touching earth it crystallizes into a luminous sacred ground marked by auspicious signs and a nascent shrine-outline.
A tīrtha is not merely a location but condensed divinity: divine tejas can crystallize into sacred geography that grants spiritual uplift.
Prabhāsa—specifically the emergence of a Sun-associated holy ground-form (later identified with Arkasthala in the chapter’s framing).
None explicitly in this verse; it establishes the sanctity-origin that supports later worship and pilgrimage merit.
