Prabhāsa-kṣetra: Circuit of Tīrthas and Shrines Leading to Bhukti and Mokṣa
लभते वांछितान्कामान्देहांते स्वर्गमाप्नुयात् । भूद्वारं तु समभ्यर्च्य लभते वांछितं फलम् ॥ ५७ ॥
labhate vāṃchitānkāmāndehāṃte svargamāpnuyāt | bhūdvāraṃ tu samabhyarcya labhate vāṃchitaṃ phalam || 57 ||
Nakakamit niya ang mga minimithing hangarin, at sa wakas ng buhay ay mararating ang langit. Sa taimtim na pagsamba kay Bhūdvara, natatamo ang ninanais na bunga.
Suta (narrating the Narada Purana’s Uttara-Bhaga to the sages)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhakti
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It functions as a phala-śruti: it asserts that sincere tīrtha-worship (here, Bhūdvara) yields both worldly fulfilment (desired aims) and post-mortem merit (svarga), reinforcing faith in dharmic pilgrimage and worship.
Bhakti is expressed through samabhyarcana—reverent worship performed with faith. The verse emphasizes that devotion directed to a sacred locus (tīrtha) is efficacious and grants tangible spiritual and karmic outcomes.
It points to Kalpa (ritual procedure): the idea that proper, rule-based worship (samabhyarcya) at a designated sacred site produces defined results, reflecting the Purāṇic application of Vedic ritual discipline.
