सोऽहं देवि वदिष्यामि कर्णं देहि वरानने । पृथिव्यामपि सर्वेषां तीर्थानां सुरसुंदरि
so'haṃ devi vadiṣyāmi karṇaṃ dehi varānane | pṛthivyāmapi sarveṣāṃ tīrthānāṃ surasuṃdari
پس اے دیوی! میں بیان کرتا ہوں—کان لگا، اے خوش رُو۔ اے آسمانی حُسن والی! زمین پر موجود تمام تیرتھوں کے بارے میں (میں کہوں گا)۔
Śiva
Tirtha: Sarva-tīrtha-kathā (leading to Prabhāsa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: The narrator invites Devī to listen to a grand enumeration of earthly tīrthas—suggesting a cosmic map unfurling before them.
Scriptural listening (śravaṇa) is presented as the gateway to understanding tīrtha-māhātmya.
This verse introduces discourse on all earthly tīrthas, within the Prabhāsa-centered narrative.
Attentive listening to the teaching (karṇaṃ dehi), implying śravaṇa as a dharmic practice.
