Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 34
प्रह्लाद उवाच । इति ता विविधैर्वाक्यैर्विलपंत्यो व्रजस्त्रियः । रुरुदुः सुस्वरं देव्यः स्मरंत्यः कृष्ण चेष्टितम्
prahlāda uvāca | iti tā vividhairvākyairvilapaṃtyo vrajastriyaḥ | ruruduḥ susvaraṃ devyaḥ smaraṃtyaḥ kṛṣṇa ceṣṭitam
Prahlāda nói: “Như thế, than khóc bằng muôn lời, các phụ nữ xứ Vraja—những bậc giai nhân rạng ngời—đã òa khóc lớn bằng giọng ngọt, nhớ lại những hành trạng của Kṛṣṇa.”
Prahlāda
Tirtha: Vraja (as smaraṇa-kshetra invoked within Dvārakā-māhātmya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The gopīs of Vraja, radiant yet grief-stricken, weep in sweet, musical lament while recalling Kṛṣṇa’s playful deeds—flute, footprints, and forest memories implied.
FAQs
Smaraṇa of the Lord’s līlā sustains devotion; even sorrow becomes sacred when centered on Kṛṣṇa.
Vraja is the emotional setting, while the text belongs to Dvārakā-māhātmya; this verse itself is narrative, not a tīrtha eulogy.
None explicitly; it implicitly elevates smaraṇa (remembrance) as devotional practice.
