स्वयंभूतां धरामध्यादानीतां विष्णुना पुरा । यादवानां तु मुक्त्यर्थं सर्वपापोपशान्तये
svayaṃbhūtāṃ dharāmadhyādānītāṃ viṣṇunā purā | yādavānāṃ tu muktyarthaṃ sarvapāpopaśāntaye
وہ خودبخود ظاہر ہونے والی ہے؛ قدیم زمانے میں وِشنو نے اسے زمین کے عین بیچ سے لا کر یادوؤں کی مُکتی کے لیے اور تمام پاپوں کے فرو کرنے کے لیے ظاہر کیا۔
Īśvara (Śiva) (continued from Adhyāya 229 opening)
Tirtha: Svayaṃbhū Gaṅgā-tīrtha at Prabhāsa
Type: kund
Listener: Mahādevī (Pārvatī)
Scene: Viṣṇu draws forth a luminous, self-manifest Gaṅgā from the earth’s center; the river rises like a silver ribbon, while Yādavas and sages witness, and the land becomes sanctified.
A tīrtha is not merely water—it is a divine descent meant for mokṣa and the removal of sin.
Gaṅgā (Jāhnavī) as a sacred presence within Prabhāsa Kṣetra.
No direct rite is stated here; it provides the origin-and-purpose (māhātmya) for approaching the tīrtha.
