arjuna uvāca | mahīsāgaramāhātmyamadbhutaṃ kīrtitaṃ tvayā | vismayaḥ paramo mahyaṃ praharṣaścopajāyate
Arjuna thưa: “Ngài đã tán dương sự vĩ đại kỳ diệu của Mahīsāgara. Trong lòng con dấy lên niềm kinh ngạc sâu xa, và hoan hỷ cũng đồng thời sinh khởi.”
Arjuna
Tirtha: Mahīsāgara
Type: tirtha
Listener: Arjuna
Scene: Arjuna, attentive and radiant with wonder, addresses the narrator (likely a sage/Skanda narrative voice), praising the marvelous greatness of Mahīsāgara; the background hints at a vast sacred sea with shimmering light.
Hearing the glory of a sacred place awakens devotion, wonder, and inner joy—signs of faith taking root.
Mahīsāgara, introduced as a sacred geography theme whose māhātmya is being narrated.
None explicitly—this verse frames the response of the listener to a māhātmya narration.
