तस्यैव देवि देवस्य शृणु माहात्म्यमुत्तमम्
tasyaiva devi devasya śṛṇu māhātmyamuttamam
“اور اب، اے دیوی! اسی دیوتا کی اعلیٰ ماہاتمیہ، یعنی اس کی عظمت، سنو۔”
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa (presiding deity’s māhātmya)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī
Scene: Close-up of Śiva teaching Devī; a haloed deity-emblem (liṅga) appears in a thought-cloud, indicating the forthcoming glory narration.
Approaching a tīrtha is paired with śravaṇa (devotional listening), framing sacred geography as lived theology.
The context is Prabhāsa kṣetra; this verse introduces the forthcoming praise rather than naming a new sub-tīrtha.
Śravaṇa—listening attentively to the māhātmya—is prescribed as a devotional act.
