इमां कथामनुब्रूयात्तथा नाऽसूयके शिवे । इदं पुत्राय शिष्याय धर्मिणे न्यायवर्तिने
imāṃ kathāmanubrūyāttathā nā'sūyake śive | idaṃ putrāya śiṣyāya dharmiṇe nyāyavartine
இந்தப் புனிதக் கதையை சிவபக்தனாகவும் பொறாமையற்றவனாகவும் உள்ளவர்க்கே முறையாக உரைக்க வேண்டும். இது தர்மநிஷ்டனும் நீதிமார்க்கத்தில் நிலைப்பவனுமான மகனுக்கோ சீடனுக்கோ அளிக்கத்தக்கது.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Qualified Śaiva son/disciple (as recipient category)
Scene: A calm teaching scene: a sage expounds Prabhāsa-māhātmya to a humble son or disciple, marked by Śaiva signs (rudrākṣa, vibhūti), emphasizing non-envy and righteousness.
Sacred tradition is preserved by teaching it to the faithful, righteous, and non-envious, within proper lineage and ethics.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra remains the underlying context, since the protected narrative is the Prabhāsa-linked Sūrya-māhātmya.
A rule of instruction: teach this kathā only to qualified recipients—son/disciple who is dhārmic and follows nyāya.
