दुर्गन्धा भासुरा देवि वहते रसरूपिणी । तस्या रसेन संयुक्तं पृथग्वर्णं हि कर्बुरम्
durgandhā bhāsurā devi vahate rasarūpiṇī | tasyā rasena saṃyuktaṃ pṛthagvarṇaṃ hi karburam
Ôi Nữ Thần, nơi ấy có một dòng “rasa” (tinh chất) rực sáng chảy qua, đôi khi lại bốc mùi hôi. Khi hòa với tinh chất ấy, nó trở nên loang lổ, thật sự mang những sắc màu tách biệt rõ ràng.
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsakṣetramāhātmya narrative style)
Tirtha: Rasa-vāhinī (essence-flow) associated with the Prabhāsa kuṇḍa
Type: kund
Listener: Devī
Scene: A shining but slightly noxious stream of essence flows near the kuṇḍa; where it mixes, the ground/water becomes mottled with distinct colors, like mineral marbling under sunlight.
A tīrtha can display paradoxical signs—both ordinary and wondrous—yet remains a vessel of divine potency beyond surface appearances.
The miraculous kuṇḍa region in Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where a radiant ‘rasa’ is said to flow.
None explicitly; it describes observable properties of the rasa associated with the tīrtha.
