Śiva (addressing Pārvatī)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (dvīpa-paryāya within the māhātmya)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī/‘priye’ addressed interlocutor (as per adjacent verses)
Scene: A sage-narrator enumerates ancient sea-islands around Prabhāsa; the ocean is calm, with faint silhouettes of vanished dvīpas like mirages; palm-leaf map motifs and conch-shells suggest maritime sanctity.
Purāṇic geography encodes memory, lineage, and dharmic order—names preserve sacred history across regions.
Not a single tīrtha is named in this verse; it supports the Prabhāsa māhātmya narrative with cosmographical enumeration.
None; it is a naming/listing verse.
