देव्युवाच । श्रुतं सर्वमशेषेण चन्द्रस्योत्पत्ति कारणम् । चिह्नं यथाऽभवत्तस्य सांप्रतं तत्प्रकीर्त्तय
devyuvāca | śrutaṃ sarvamaśeṣeṇa candrasyotpatti kāraṇam | cihnaṃ yathā'bhavattasya sāṃprataṃ tatprakīrttaya
Nữ Thần nói: “Ta đã nghe trọn vẹn nguyên do sự xuất hiện của Mặt Trăng. Nay hãy thuật lại, đúng như đã xảy ra, dấu hiệu đặc biệt đã hiện trên Người.”
Devī (Pārvatī)
Listener: Īśvara (Śiva)
Scene: Devī seated beside Īśvara, attentive, asking about the Moon’s ‘cihna’ (mark); a calm Himalayan/temple setting or a narrative pavilion; the moon symbol appears faintly in the background as a cue.
Sacred history is preserved through inquiry: seeking the meaning of divine ‘signs’ deepens dharmic understanding.
The broader frame is Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya, though this verse itself introduces a narrative question rather than naming a tirtha.
None; it is a request to narrate the account.
