इति व्रतं महादेवि त्रेतासंध्यांशके गते । गन्धर्वस्यैवमाख्यातं श्रुतं पातकनाशनम्
iti vrataṃ mahādevi tretāsaṃdhyāṃśake gate | gandharvasyaivamākhyātaṃ śrutaṃ pātakanāśanam
یوں، اے مہادیوی، جب تریتا یُگ کی سندھیا کا ایک حصہ گزر گیا، تو گندھرو نے اسی طرح اس ورت کا بیان کیا؛ اسے سننا گناہوں کا نِیوَرن کرتا ہے۔
Gandharva (narrator, addressing Devī/Parvatī as implied by 'mahādevi')
Tirtha: Vimaleśvara / Gandharvaseneśvara vow-context within Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Devī/Pārvatī)
Scene: A sage-like Gandharva proclaims the vow in an ancient twilight age; listeners sit in reverent attention; the scene fades into a calm conclusion, suggesting that mere hearing purifies.
Śravaṇa (devout hearing) of tīrtha-vrata teachings is itself a purifying act, credited with destroying sin.
The broader setting is Prabhāsakṣetra; this verse functions as a concluding merit-statement for the narrated vrata.
No new ritual is added; the emphasis is on the merit of hearing the account of the vrata.
