यत्रेष्ट सर्वभूतानामी श्वरेण महात्मना,भरतश्रेष्ठ! वहीं सम्पूर्ण भूतोंके स्वामी महात्मा प्रजापतिने मुख्य-मुख्य सौ यज्ञोंका अनुष्ठान किया था, जिनमें सोनेकी वेदियाँ और मणियोंके खंभे बने थे

The passage elevates yajña as a paradigm of dharmic order: a rightful sovereign (Prajāpati) sustains the world through properly performed rites, symbolizing responsibility, legitimacy, and the maintenance of cosmic and social harmony.
Vaiśampāyana describes a revered location by recalling that Prajāpati once conducted a hundred principal sacrifices there, marked by extraordinary ritual splendor—golden altars and gem-studded pillars—thereby establishing the site’s sanctity and prestige.
