ईश्वर उवाच । इत्युक्ता सा तदा पित्रा गच्छगच्छेति सा पुनः । संपूजयित्वा पितरं वडवारूपधारिणी
īśvara uvāca | ityuktā sā tadā pitrā gacchagaccheti sā punaḥ | saṃpūjayitvā pitaraṃ vaḍavārūpadhāriṇī
اِیشور نے کہا: باپ کے “جاؤ، جاؤ” کہنے پر وہ پھر سے اپنے پتا کو विधی کے مطابق پوجا کر کے پرنام کرتی رہی—وہ جو گھوڑی کی صورت اختیار کیے ہوئے تھی۔
Īśvara (Śiva) as narrator
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A woman in mare-form (vaḍavā) bows or circles respectfully before her father after being told to depart; the scene blends tenderness with mythic strangeness.
Purāṇic narratives often encode dharma through symbolic transformations while preserving the theme of reverence to elders.
The setting belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya; this verse advances the mythic storyline rather than naming a specific tīrtha.
Respectful pūjā to one’s father/elder is shown as a dhārmic act.
