किं प्रभावो महादेव क्षेत्रस्य च सुरेश्वर । तन्मे ब्रूहि सुरेशान याथातथ्यं ममाग्रतः
kiṃ prabhāvo mahādeva kṣetrasya ca sureśvara | tanme brūhi sureśāna yāthātathyaṃ mamāgrataḥ
“Ôi Mahādeva, ô Chúa tể chư thiên, uy lực chân thật của thánh địa (kṣetra) này là gì? Hỡi Sureśāna, xin nói cho con đúng như thật, rõ ràng ngay trước mặt con.”
Devī (Pārvatī/Umā)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahādeva/Īśvara (Sureśāna)
Scene: Devī requests a plain, exact account of the kṣetra’s power; the scene emphasizes didactic clarity—Śiva as teacher, Devī as earnest seeker; the sacred landscape of Prabhāsa is subtly present (sea, shrine, tīrtha waters).
Approaching a sacred place with sincere questioning and desire for truth is part of purāṇic learning and devotion.
Prabhāsakṣetra—its kṣetra-prabhāva (site-power) is the topic of inquiry.
None; the focus is on requesting an authoritative explanation of the kṣetra’s glory.
