इति संक्षेपतः प्रोक्तं माहात्म्यं पापनाशनम् । कपालिरुद्रदेवस्य तृतीयस्य वरानने
iti saṃkṣepataḥ proktaṃ māhātmyaṃ pāpanāśanam | kapālirudradevasya tṛtīyasya varānane
如是,我已略说迦波利鲁陀罗天——其中第三位——能灭罪之大威德,噢容颜姝丽者。
Īśvara (Śiva) (contextual attribution; addressing Devī)
Tirtha: Kapālīrudra-deva / Kapālīśvara (third in the sequence referenced)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Varānane (‘fair-faced one’) addressed directly
Scene: A narrator-sage concludes the account before an attentive ‘fair-faced’ listener; in the background, a stylized Prabhāsa shrine silhouette and the liṅga symbol, indicating the end of a sacred episode.
Remembering and honoring the Lord’s māhātmya is itself framed as a purifier and guide for dharmic pilgrimage.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, specifically the Kapālirudra/Kapālīśvara manifestation within the Ekādaśa-rudra cycle.
No new prescription; it functions as a concluding summary of the māhātmya.
