Īśvara phán: Bấy giờ, hãy đi về phía tây đến bờ cát lành của sông Nyaṃkumatī. Hướng mặt về phương nam, nơi ấy có một bến thánh (tīrtha) rực rỡ, đầy uy quang.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)
Scene: A pilgrim party moves westward along an auspicious riverbank; a luminous tirtha-marker stands ahead, approached while facing south; the landscape suggests coastal Saurashtra with sacred signposts.
Pilgrimage is mapped as a disciplined journey through sacred geography, where direction and place are part of the sādhana.
A “mahāprabha” tīrtha situated on the auspicious bank of the Nyaṃkumatī in Prabhāsakṣetra.
Travel instruction: go westward to the Nyaṃkumatī bank and orient oneself southward at the tīrtha.
