ईश्वर उवाच । ततः शांतमना भूत्वा चंद्रमा विस्मयान्वितः । शंभुभक्त्या परीतात्मा प्रभासक्षेत्रमास्थितः
īśvara uvāca | tataḥ śāṃtamanā bhūtvā caṃdramā vismayānvitaḥ | śaṃbhubhaktyā parītātmā prabhāsakṣetramāsthitaḥ
自在天(Īśvara)说道:随后,旃陀罗(Candra)心神寂静,满怀惊异;其内在被对商婆(Śambhu)的虔敬所充盈,遂安住于普罗婆娑(Prabhāsa)圣域。
Īśvara (Śiva) as narrator
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Implied purāṇic audience within the mahātmya frame
Scene: Candra arrives at Prabhāsa, now tranquil and amazed, suffused with devotion to Śambhu; the sacred coastal field feels luminous and still.
Devotion to Śiva brings inner calm and steadiness, especially when one takes refuge in a sanctified tīrtha.
Prabhāsa Kṣetra, depicted as a refuge and transformative sacred field.
No explicit rite is stated here; the emphasis is on bhakti and taking abode in the kṣetra.
