पुलहस्य मृगाः पुत्राः सर्वे व्यालाश्च दंष्ट्रिणः । भूताः पिशाचाः सर्पाश्च शूकरा हस्तिनस्तथा
pulahasya mṛgāḥ putrāḥ sarve vyālāśca daṃṣṭriṇaḥ | bhūtāḥ piśācāḥ sarpāśca śūkarā hastinastathā
Ang mga supling ni Pulaha ay mga hayop—tunay na pawang mababangis, may pangil at pangil na tusk. Kasama rin ang mga bhūta, piśāca, mga ahas, mga baboy-ramo, at mga elepante.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating (contextual deduction within Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A mythic bestiary emerging as Pulaha’s progeny: tusked predators, serpents coiling, boars charging, elephants looming, and shadowy bhūtas/piśācas in the background.
Even fearsome classes of beings are situated within a larger sacred order described by the Purāṇas, where holy geography frames all life within dharma and cosmic lineage.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra (near Somanātha/Prabhāsa), within the Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya of the Skanda Purāṇa.
No direct ritual (snāna, dāna, japa, vrata) is stated in this verse; it functions as part of the māhātmya’s mythic-historical narration.
