तस्मिन्कल्पे महादेवि गते संध्यांशके प्रिये । प्रथमस्य मनोश्चादौ देवि स्वायंभुवस्य हि
tasminkalpe mahādevi gate saṃdhyāṃśake priye | prathamasya manoścādau devi svāyaṃbhuvasya hi
Trong kiếp ấy, hỡi Mahādevī—khi phần hoàng hôn đã qua, hỡi người yêu dấu—vào buổi khởi đầu của Manu thứ nhất, chính là Svāyambhuva, hỡi Devī—
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (context)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādevī (Umā)
Scene: The narration continues: within the Vārāha Kalpa, after a twilight portion (saṃdhyāṃśa) had passed, the beginning of Svāyambhuva Manu’s era is indicated—an austere, chronological pivot.
Purāṇic teaching links sacred history to manvantaras and junction-times, portraying dharma as continuous across cosmic cycles.
Prabhāsakṣetra is the māhātmya context; the verse itself sets chronology rather than naming a sub-tīrtha.
None; this verse functions as chronological preface.
