इदं तपोवनं देवि ख्यातं गौर्या महाप्रभम् । धनुषां पचपंचाशत्समंतात्परिमंडलम्
idaṃ tapovanaṃ devi khyātaṃ gauryā mahāprabham | dhanuṣāṃ pacapaṃcāśatsamaṃtātparimaṃḍalam
اے دیوی! یہ تپوون گوری کے سبب مشہور اور نہایت درخشاں ہے۔ یہ ہر سمت سے دائرہ نما پھیلاؤ رکھتا ہے، جس کی پیمائش پچپن دھنش کے برابر ہے۔
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Gaurī-tapo-vana
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Gaurī/Pārvatī)
Scene: A luminous circular grove (tapovana) marked as a sacred maṇḍala; Gaurī’s presence is suggested—either as an ascetic figure in meditation or as a sanctifying aura—while the narrator indicates the measured expanse (55 dhanuṣ).
Purāṇic māhātmya sanctifies geography: the holy grove is mapped and praised as a tangible field of austerity and divine presence.
Gaurī’s tapovana (sacred grove of austerities) within the Prabhāsa Kṣetra narrative landscape.
None directly; the verse provides sacred-site description and extent, supporting pilgrimage orientation.
