प्रायश्चित्तानि चीर्णानि पापानां नाशनाय । द्वारकायाश्च माहात्म्यं येन विस्तारितं कलौ
prāyaścittāni cīrṇāni pāpānāṃ nāśanāya | dvārakāyāśca māhātmyaṃ yena vistāritaṃ kalau
گناہوں کے مٹانے کے لیے پرایَشچِت کیے جاتے ہیں؛ اسی طرح کلی یُگ میں اسی تعلیم کے ذریعے دوارکا کی عظمت پھیلائی اور معروف کی جاتی ہے۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced from Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Dvārakā
Type: kshetra
Scene: A group of devotees carries manuscripts and announces Dvārakā’s māhātmya in marketplaces and temple courtyards; the act is portrayed as cleansing darkness of Kali with lamp-like knowledge.
In Kali-yuga, spreading and honoring the sacred greatness (māhātmya) of Dvārakā is upheld as a potent means aligned with the purpose of expiation—removing sin and restoring dharmic purity.
Dvārakā—celebrated as a supremely meritorious sacred place (sthāna) within the Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa’s Dvārakā Māhātmya.
No specific rite is prescribed here; the verse highlights the general dharmic function of prāyaścitta and the Kali-yuga efficacy of disseminating Dvārakā’s māhātmya.
