दिव्यगन्धानुलिप्तांगो दिव्याभरणभूषितः । संस्थितः पूर्वतस्तस्य दीप्यमानः स्वतेजसा
divyagandhānuliptāṃgo divyābharaṇabhūṣitaḥ | saṃsthitaḥ pūrvatastasya dīpyamānaḥ svatejasā
దివ్య సుగంధాలతో లేపబడిన దేహముతో, దివ్యాభరణాలతో అలంకృతుడై, ఆ ధామానికి తూర్పు దిశలో నిలిచి తన స్వతేజస్సుతో ప్రకాశించుచుండెను।

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis (Naimiṣāraṇya assembly)
Scene: At a radiant shrine in Prabhāsa, a divine personage stands to the east, body anointed with celestial perfumes, ornamented with divine jewelry, emitting self-born brilliance that illuminates the precinct.
Divine presence is self-luminous; purity (fragrance) and sacred adornment signify inner radiance manifesting in a tīrtha.
Prabhāsakṣetra, focusing on the sacred precinct around Śaṅkara’s temple.
Anointing with fragrant substances and adorning with ornaments—standard elements of pūjā and divine honour (upacāra).
