ईश्वर उवाच । अन्यद्दृष्टांतरूपं ते कथयामि यशस्विनि । येन सृष्टं महादेवि क्षेत्रमेतन्मम प्रियम्
īśvara uvāca | anyaddṛṣṭāṃtarūpaṃ te kathayāmi yaśasvini | yena sṛṣṭaṃ mahādevi kṣetrametanmama priyam
自在天说道:光荣者啊,我将为你讲述另一则不同形态的传说;凭此,大神女啊,这片我所钟爱的圣域便得以创生。
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī (Pārvatī)

None; it announces an origin-narrative that undergirds later prescriptions.
