دیوی نے کہا: “برہما کے ایک ‘دن’ کی مقدار ہزاروں مہینوں اور برسوں پر مشتمل بتائی جاتی ہے۔ برہما کی عمر جیسا کہ اسمِرتی میں بیان ہے، وہ سب تفصیل سے بیان کیجیے۔”
Devī
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Īśvara
Scene: Devī, seated in reverent inquiry, asks Īśvara to explain Brahmā’s day and lifespan; behind them a schematic cosmos: yuga-wheels, sun-moon, lotus of Brahmā, and the luminous Prabhāsa landscape anchoring the discourse.
Purāṇic dharma encourages inquiry into cosmic order, linking sacred place-narratives with metaphysical time.
The discussion occurs in the Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya context, framing cosmology within the kṣetra’s greatness.
None; it is a doctrinal inquiry about cosmic time and Brahmā’s lifespan.
