कदाचिन्मृगयासक्तो बभ्राम स च वीर्यवान् । प्रभास क्षेत्रमागात्य पूर्वसंस्कारभावितः
kadācinmṛgayāsakto babhrāma sa ca vīryavān | prabhāsa kṣetramāgātya pūrvasaṃskārabhāvitaḥ
Một lần, say mê việc săn bắn, người dũng mãnh ấy lang thang khắp nơi rồi đến thánh địa Prabhāsa, bị sức mạnh của những dấu ấn nghiệp xưa (saṃskāra) dẫn dắt.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A powerful hunter-king roaming with bow and retinue suddenly arrives at the luminous sacred field of Prabhāsa, as if guided by unseen past impressions; the landscape shifts from wild chase to holy shoreline/temple aura.
Past merits and spiritual impressions can guide even distracted lives toward sacred places where transformation becomes possible.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra itself—the famed tīrtha-region associated with Somnātha and Śiva’s presence.
None directly; the verse frames the pilgrim-arrival to Prabhāsa as the key spiritual turning point.
