此圣地的一切大威德,曾在自生主(Svāyambhuva)摩奴纪中显现;而在毗婆斯瓦特(Vaivasvata)摩奴纪,又发生了另一段因缘——与达克沙(Dakṣa)祭祀被毁相关。
Narrator
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (manvantara-linked mahātmya)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/assembly (implied)
Scene: A cosmic timeline tableau: two panels or layered scenes—Svāyambhuva Manvantara events establishing the kṣetra’s glory, and Vaivasvata Manvantara showing the Dakṣa-yajña destruction motif—both anchored to the same Prabhāsa landscape.
A tīrtha’s sanctity is portrayed as timeless, recurring across cosmic eras, reinforcing faith in its perennial power.
Prabhāsakṣetra and specifically the Kapāleśvara-linked narrative, situated within multi-Manvantara tradition.
No prescription; the verse provides historical-cosmic framing for the Māhātmya.
