पुराणम्

English

प्रभास १ / PRABHĀSA I. A son born to Dharmadeva of his wife prabhātā. This prabhāsa is considered to be one of the aṣṭavasus. Prabhāsa's wife was the sister of bṛhaspati,  a widely travelled virtuous woman of renowned chastity and great yogic attainments. (Śloka 17,  Chapter 66,  Ādi Parva
 Chapter 15,  Aṁ a 1,  viṣṇu purāṇa).

प्रभास २ / PRABHĀSA II   The sacred place called Prabhāsatīrtha. This place of Purāṇic importance is situated in Saurāṣṭra on the west coast. This is called somatīrtha also. Some facts about this tīrtha from the Purāṇas are given below:(i)  During the pilgrimage of arjuna he did penance for a thousand divine years standing on one foot at prabhāsa,  Śloka 15,  Chapter 12,  Vana Parva). (ii)  Agnideva resides in this place. One who bathes in the holy pond there would get the benefit of doing Agniṣṭomayajña. (Śloka 58,  Chapter 82,  Vana Parva).(iii)  Once yudhiṣṭhira along with his brothers came and did penance here. (Śloka 15,  Chapter 118,  Vana Parva).(iv)  Prabhāsatīrtha is dear to indra. (Śloka 7,  Chapter 130,  Vana Parva).(v)  Those who bathe in the holy pond in prabhāsa are taken to heaven in Vimānas and they then by songs of praise wake up the celestial maidens there. (Śloka 9,  Chapter 25,  anuśāsana parva).(vi)  It was at this Prabhāsatīrtha that the Yādavas fought against one another and destroyed themselves. (Śloka 10,  Chapter 3,  Mausala Parva).(vii)  śrī kṛṣṇa and Balarāma merged with the Supreme spirit at this place. (Chapter 4,  Mausala Parva).(viii)  The son of sage sāndīpani was kidnapped by pañcajana while the former was bathing at this tīrtha. (10th skandha,  bhāgavata).(ix)  It was while standing on the shore of the prabhāsa pond that arjuna first heard about subhadrā. (10th skandha,  bhāgavata).
