तीव्रा दक्षारुणा विद्या धारपाला च वर्चसा । आदित्यानां ददौ दक्षः कन्याद्वादशकं प्रिये
tīvrā dakṣāruṇā vidyā dhārapālā ca varcasā | ādityānāṃ dadau dakṣaḥ kanyādvādaśakaṃ priye
Tīvrā, Dakṣāruṇā, Vidyā, Dhārapālā và Varcasā—đó là các danh xưng. Này người yêu dấu, Dakṣa đã gả trọn mười hai ái nữ cho các Āditya.
Sūta (deduced; ‘priye’ indicates an addressed listener within embedded dialogue)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pārvatī ("priye")
Scene: A luminous dawn scene at Prabhāsa: twelve maidens symbolizing solar energies stand in a semicircle before the Ādityas; rays form a mandala; the sea reflects sunrise; the giver performs a formal offering gesture.
The solar order (Ādityas) is tied to qualities like splendour and sustaining power, indicating dharma as the light that upholds the world.
The Prabhāsa-kṣetra māhātmya provides the setting; this verse is a cosmological genealogy segment.
None directly.
