انہوں نے کہا: “جس ہرنوں کے ریوڑ کا ہم پیچھا کر رہے تھے، وہ کس راستے سے باہر نکلا؟” تب انہوں نے جواب دیا: “ہم ہرن کی صورت میں تھے، مگر اب ہم نے انسانیت پا لی ہے۔”
Śiva (Īśvara) (narrating); quoted speech by the transformed beings
Tirtha: Kardamālā (Prabhāsa sub-tīrtha)
Type: kund
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: The newly human figures speak calmly to the hunters, confessing their former deer-form and their sudden attainment of humanity; the hunters listen, stunned.
A tīrtha’s sanctity can reverse limitations of birth and embody the Purāṇic theme of sudden upliftment through sacred contact.
Kardamālā-tīrtha within Prabhāsakṣetra.
None directly; the verse records testimony of transformation attributed to the tīrtha.
