षोडशो नारसिंहस्तु समाधिस्तु ततः परः । आग्नेयोऽष्टादशः प्रोक्तः सोमकल्पस्ततोऽपरः

பதினாறாவது (கல்பம்) ‘நாரசிம்ஹ’ ஆகும்; அதன் பின் ‘சமாதி’ (கல்பம்) வருகிறது. பதினெட்டாவது ‘ஆக்நேய’ என அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது; அதன் பின் ‘சோம-கல்பம்’ வருகிறது.
Skanda (deduced; Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A fourfold symbolic tableau at Prabhāsa: Narasiṃha as a protective vision near the shrine gate; a yogin seated in samādhi; a sacred flame before the liṅga; and a moonlit vessel of soma-like nectar reflecting the sea.
Purāṇic dharma frames devotion within a vast sacred chronology, where divine names mark epochs and sanctify remembrance.
The discourse belongs to Prabhāsa Kṣetra Māhātmya (Somnātha/Prabhāsa), though this verse itself names kalpas rather than a sub-tīrtha.
No direct ritual is prescribed; the verse continues the naming of kalpas for contemplative recollection.
