ब्रह्मलोके स्थितः पूर्वं नारदो भगवानृषिः । तत्र दृष्ट्वा महावीणां दिव्यां तंत्र्ययुतै र्युताम्
brahmaloke sthitaḥ pūrvaṃ nārado bhagavānṛṣiḥ | tatra dṛṣṭvā mahāvīṇāṃ divyāṃ taṃtryayutai ryutām
往昔,具福德的圣仙那罗陀居于梵界(Brahmaloka)。在那里,他见到一张宏大的天界维那琴,配有千千琴弦。
Īśvara (Śiva) (narrating the backstory)
Tirtha: Nāradeśvara (origin narrative begins)
Type: kshetra
Scene: In Brahmaloka, Nārada the devarṣi beholds an immense divine vīṇā with thousands of strings—an awe-filled discovery in a luminous celestial court.
Purāṇas connect celestial happenings with earthly tīrthas, implying that sacred places mirror higher worlds.
The narrative sets up the origin of Nāradeśvara in Prabhāsakṣetra, though this verse is situated in Brahmaloka.
None; it begins an origin story (kathā) explaining the shrine’s sanctity.
