बृहस्पतेस्तु भगिनी विश्रुता ब्रह्मवादिनी । प्रभासस्य तु सा पत्नी वसूनामष्टमस्य वै
bṛhaspatestu bhaginī viśrutā brahmavādinī | prabhāsasya tu sā patnī vasūnāmaṣṭamasya vai
Em gái của Bṛhaspati—nổi danh là bậc thấu triệt và tuyên thuyết về brahman—đã trở thành hiền thê của Prabhāsa, vị Vasu thứ tám.
Sūta (deduced for Prabhāsa-khaṇḍa māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A brahmavādinī (Bṛhaspati’s sister) depicted with Vedic manuscript and japa-mālā, standing beside the luminous Vasu Prabhāsa, whose body radiates light like dawn over the sea; the kṣetra’s glow is mirrored in their union.
FAQs
Vedic wisdom and cosmic guardianship are intertwined; the Purāṇa links teachers (Bṛhaspati’s family) with the Vasus who uphold order.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is implicitly glorified through association with Prabhāsa, the Vasu whose name resonates with the region’s sanctity.
None explicitly; the verse is primarily identificatory (relationships among divine figures).
