पार्वत्युवाच । कथयस्व महादेव तीर्थं परमशोभनम् । भ्रूणहत्याहरं कस्मात्कामदं स्वर्गदर्शनम्
pārvatyuvāca | kathayasva mahādeva tīrthaṃ paramaśobhanam | bhrūṇahatyāharaṃ kasmātkāmadaṃ svargadarśanam
Pārvatī thưa: “Xin Ngài, hỡi Mahādeva, hãy kể về thánh địa (tīrtha) rực rỡ tối thượng ấy. Vì sao nơi ấy có thể trừ tội sát thai, ban điều ước và cho được chiêm kiến cõi trời?”
Pārvatī
Type: ghat
Listener: Mahādeva (Śiva)
Scene: Pārvatī, attentive and earnest, asks Mahādeva to explain how the tīrtha grants such powerful fruits; Śiva sits composed, ready to detail the rationale and rite; the Revā glimmers nearby.
Authentic dharma-knowledge grows through humble inquiry; the Devī seeks the cause (kasmāt) behind tīrtha-power.
The same unnamed, “supremely splendid” Revā-north-bank tīrtha introduced by Śiva.
No explicit prescription; it requests the explanatory māhātmya (glory and rationale) of the tīrtha.
