सर्वपापक्षये जाते शिवे भवति भावना । एतद्व्रजति यस्तीर्थं प्रभासं पाण्डुनन्दन
sarvapāpakṣaye jāte śive bhavati bhāvanā | etadvrajati yastīrthaṃ prabhāsaṃ pāṇḍunandana
جب تمام گناہ مٹ جاتے ہیں تو دل میں شِو کی بھکتی کی بھاونا جاگ اٹھتی ہے۔ اے پاندو نندن! پربھاس نامی تیرتھ کو جانے والے پر یہی حال وارد ہوتا ہے۔
Mārkaṇḍeya (addressing Yudhiṣṭhira, ‘Pāṇḍunandana’)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pāṇḍunandana (addressed)
Scene: A pilgrim arrives at the sea-adjacent sacred landscape of Prabhāsa; after ritual bathing and darśana, the pilgrim’s face softens into Śiva-bhāvanā—inner light mirrored by a distant Somnātha-like śikhara and billowing ocean air.
True purification culminates not only in sinlessness but in awakened devotion (bhāvanā) to Śiva.
Prabhāsa Tīrtha is explicitly praised as a place that leads to the destruction of sins and the rise of Śiva-bhakti.
Pilgrimage (tīrtha-yātrā) to Prabhāsa is the implied prescription; specific rites (snāna/dāna) are not detailed in this verse.
