तस्माद्भवन्तं पृच्छामः पुराणे स्कन्दकीर्तिते । प्रभासक्षेत्रमाहात्म्ये ब्राह्मी यात्रा श्रुता पुरा
tasmādbhavantaṃ pṛcchāmaḥ purāṇe skandakīrtite | prabhāsakṣetramāhātmye brāhmī yātrā śrutā purā
Vì vậy, chúng con kính hỏi ngài trong bộ Purāṇa do Skanda tuyên thuyết: trong phần Māhātmya về thánh địa Prabhāsa Kṣetra, xưa kia chúng con đã nghe nói đến “cuộc hành hương Brāhmī”—xin ngài kể rõ cho chúng con.
Naimiṣeya Maharṣis (the sages of Naimiṣāraṇya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sūta
Scene: Sages respectfully question Sūta about the Prabhāsa-kṣetra-māhātmya, specifically the ‘Brāhmī yātrā’; in the background, an imagined coastline/temple silhouette hints at Somnātha-Prabhāsa.
Pilgrimage traditions are to be understood through Purāṇic testimony—heard, questioned, and clarified in a dharmic assembly.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra is explicitly named as the focus of the Māhātmya and its pilgrimage traditions.
The verse introduces the topic of a specific pilgrimage observance—Brāhmī Yātrā—without detailing its rites yet.
