निर्मुक्तः सर्वपापेभ्यो मध्यभागे वसेत्तु यः । हिमवंतं परित्यज्य पर्वतं गंधमादनम्
nirmuktaḥ sarvapāpebhyo madhyabhāge vasettu yaḥ | himavaṃtaṃ parityajya parvataṃ gaṃdhamādanam
Ai cư trú nơi miền trung địa thì được giải thoát khỏi mọi tội lỗi. Đối với người ấy, dẫu có rời bỏ dãy Himālaya và núi Gandhamādana—
Śiva (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa (Madhya-bhāga)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Varānanā
Scene: A pilgrim dwelling within Prabhāsa’s central precinct is bathed in a halo of purification; in the distance, majestic Himalaya and Gandhamādana appear as relinquished alternatives, fading like mirages.
Not only visiting but dwelling with discipline in Prabhāsa’s sacred center is presented as a direct means to complete purification.
The ‘middle portion’ (madhyabhāga) of Prabhāsa-kṣetra is singled out for sin-destroying residence.
Residence (vāsa) in the central region is recommended as spiritually efficacious; no separate rite is specified here.
