Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice within Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa (ocean-adjacent tīrtha; Sarasvatī/sea interface implied)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (addressed as ‘devi’)
Scene: A goddess-addressed revelation of cosmic time: the sea-tīrtha shown as a luminous expanse with inscriptions of changing names across Manvantaras, sages witnessing the shift like a celestial chronicle.

None; the verse is a time-based (manvantara) naming tradition rather than a ritual instruction.
