तत्याज स कथं देवः प्रभासे स्वं कलेवरम् । नाभ्यरण्यां समुद्भूतं यस्य पैतामहं गृहम्
tatyāja sa kathaṃ devaḥ prabhāse svaṃ kalevaram | nābhyaraṇyāṃ samudbhūtaṃ yasya paitāmahaṃ gṛham
Paano maitatakwil ng Diyos na iyon ang sariling katawan sa Prabhāsa—siya na ang ‘tahanan ng Lolo’ (Brahmā) ay sumibol mula sa gubat ng lotus sa kanyang pusod?
Unspecified (same inquiry voice)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages/pilgrims (implied)
Scene: A double-vision tableau: above, Viṣṇu’s navel-lotus blooming with Brahmā seated; below, the Prabhāsa seashore at dusk with a solemn, luminous atmosphere suggesting the Lord’s ‘casting off’ as a transcendental event rather than death.
The Lord is the cosmic source of Brahmā; therefore any ‘abandoning of the body’ is a sacred mystery used to exalt Prabhāsa.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra.
None; the verse is theological-poetic.
