देवाधीनाः प्रजाः सर्वा यज्ञाधीनाश्च देवताः । ते यज्ञा ब्राह्मणाधीनास्तस्माद्देवा द्विजोत्तमाः
devādhīnāḥ prajāḥ sarvā yajñādhīnāśca devatāḥ | te yajñā brāhmaṇādhīnāstasmāddevā dvijottamāḥ
جميع الكائنات تعتمد على الآلهة، والآلهة تعتمد على اليَجْنَة (القربان). وتلك القرابين تعتمد على البراهمة؛ لذلك فالبراهمة—وهم الدِّيفات الحقّة على الأرض—هم أسمى ذوي الميلادين.
Skanda (deduced from Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya narrative style within Skanda Purāṇa)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pilgrims/ṛṣis
Scene: A symbolic ‘chain’ scene: villagers/prājā in lower register, devatās above receiving offerings, a yajña fire at center, and brāhmaṇas officiating as the pivotal link; arrows or visual flow indicates dependence.
Cosmic welfare is linked to yajña, and yajña is linked to brāhmaṇa stewardship; dharma sustains the world.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where the tīrtha narrative emphasizes yajña-centered dharma.
It underscores yajña as essential and implies supporting qualified Brāhmaṇas who maintain sacrificial rites.
