दंपत्योः परिधानं च तत्र देयं सदक्षिणम् । यश्चैतत्पठते नित्यं तृतीयायां विशेषतः । पार्वत्याः पुरतो देवि स सौभाग्यमवाप्नुयात्
daṃpatyoḥ paridhānaṃ ca tatra deyaṃ sadakṣiṇam | yaścaitatpaṭhate nityaṃ tṛtīyāyāṃ viśeṣataḥ | pārvatyāḥ purato devi sa saubhāgyamavāpnuyāt
在彼处,应施赠夫妇之衣服,并奉上相称的达克希纳(dakṣiṇā,供养礼金)。凡能恒常诵读此偈者——尤以月相第三日“特里提亚”(tṛtīyā) 于帕尔瓦蒂女神之前——噢女神,必得吉祥福运(saubhāgya)。
Narratorial voice addressing Devī (contextual Purāṇic narrator within Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (Devī-sannidhi)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Devī is directly addressed (‘devi’) while also instructing the pilgrim audience
Scene: In front of a Pārvatī shrine, devotees present folded garments for a husband and wife along with dakṣiṇā; a reader recites the māhātmya on tṛtīyā; lamps, flowers, and red cloth offerings frame the scene.
Charity (dāna) performed with dakṣiṇā and devotional recitation before the Goddess is said to confer auspicious fortune (saubhāgya).
The Gaurī-tapovana/Prabhāsa Kṣetra setting where Pārvatī is worshipped and vows like tṛtīyā-recitation are praised.
Give garments for a couple with dakṣiṇā; recite this passage regularly, especially on tṛtīyā, before Pārvatī.
