Shloka 16
मयेन सभानिर्माणम्
Maya’s Construction of the Assembly Hall
यत्रेष्टं वासुदेवेन सत्रैर्वर्षणणान् बहून् । श्रद्दधानेन सततं धर्मसम्प्रतिपत्तये,यह वही स्थान है, जहाँ भगवान् वासुदेवने धर्मपरम्पराकी रक्षाके लिये बहुत वर्षोतक निरंतर श्रद्धापूर्वक यज्ञ किया था
yatreṣṭaṃ vāsudevena satrair varṣaśatān bahūn | śraddadhānena satataṃ dharma-sampratipattaye ||
Es war eben jener Ort, an dem Vāsudeva einst Satras‑Yajñas (satra-yajña) viele Hunderte von Jahren lang vollzog — unablässig und in standhaftem Glauben —, damit rechtes Verständnis und die Festigung des Dharma gesichert würden.

Educational Q&A
Dharma is upheld not merely by power but by sustained, faith-filled practice—here symbolized by Vāsudeva’s long sacrificial observances undertaken for the preservation and right establishment of moral order.
Vaiśampāyana identifies a particular location by recalling its sanctity: it is the place where Vāsudeva once performed prolonged satra-sacrifices for many years, emphasizing the site’s association with the maintenance of dharma.
