तस्य पित्रा स दृष्टस्तु सामुद्रज्ञो विदुत्तमः । हास्यस्य कारणं पृष्टो विस्मयान्वितचेतसा
tasya pitrā sa dṛṣṭastu sāmudrajño viduttamaḥ | hāsyasya kāraṇaṃ pṛṣṭo vismayānvitacetasā
تب لڑکے کے باپ نے اس برگزیدہ عالم کو دیکھا جو سامُدْرِک شاستر کے مطابق علامات پڑھنے میں ماہر تھا۔ حیرت سے بھرے دل کے ساتھ اس نے مسکراہٹ کی وجہ پوچھی۔
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator within Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya; specific speaker not explicit in this excerpt)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (frame)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The father notices the eminent sign-reader (sāmudrajña) smiling; with hands folded and eyes widened in wonder, he asks the reason, while the child remains nearby.
Wonder leads to inquiry; dharmic life values asking the wise to understand the hidden causes behind events.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where sages, knowers, and pilgrims encounter teachings on karma and fate.
None; the verse introduces a question that will prompt dharmic action later.
