चत्वरेषु च सर्वेषु क्षेत्र मध्यस्थिता सती । रात्रौ पर्यटते देवी भूतानां कोटिभिर्वृता
catvareṣu ca sarveṣu kṣetra madhyasthitā satī | rātrau paryaṭate devī bhūtānāṃ koṭibhirvṛtā
مقدّس کھیتر کے بیچ میں قائم اور ہر چوراہے پر حاضر ستی دیوی رات کے وقت کروڑوں بھوت پریتوں سے گھری ہوئی گشت کرتی ہے۔
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Catvarā-devī (Kṣetra-dūtī) at Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: ghat
Scene: At the heart of Prabhāsa-kṣetra, the Devī stands as the central presence yet appears at every crossroads; by night she moves through the lanes, encircled by innumerable bhūtas—some fearsome, some protective—holding lamps, tridents, drums, and banners, while the sacred field glows with an unseen boundary-light.
The kṣetra is safeguarded continuously; devotees should cultivate respect, restraint, and purity within holy boundaries.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra’s crossroads (catvaras) and its central guardian goddess.
No direct ritual; it describes the protective activity of the Devī.
