तत्याज स कथं देवः प्रभासे स्वं कलेवरम् । नाभ्यरण्यां समुद्भूतं यस्य पैतामहं गृहम्
tatyāja sa kathaṃ devaḥ prabhāse svaṃ kalevaram | nābhyaraṇyāṃ samudbhūtaṃ yasya paitāmahaṃ gṛham

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sages/pilgrims (implied)
Scene: A double-vision tableau: above, Viṣṇu’s navel-lotus blooming with Brahmā seated; below, the Prabhāsa seashore at dusk with a solemn, luminous atmosphere suggesting the Lord’s ‘casting off’ as a transcendental event rather than death.
The Lord is the cosmic source of Brahmā; therefore any ‘abandoning of the body’ is a sacred mystery used to exalt Prabhāsa.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra.
None; the verse is theological-poetic.
