अद्यप्रभृति तत्स्थानं नगराख्यं धरातले । भविष्यति सुविख्यातं तव कीर्तिविवर्धनम्
adyaprabhṛti tatsthānaṃ nagarākhyaṃ dharātale | bhaviṣyati suvikhyātaṃ tava kīrtivivardhanam
Von heute an wird jener Ort auf Erden unter dem Namen „Nagara“ bekannt sein; weithin gerühmt wird er deine Ehre und deinen Ruhm mehren.
Śrī Bhagavān
Tirtha: Nagara
Type: kshetra
Listener: Addressee whose fame increases (likely Trijāta or the acting protector)
Scene: A blessing pronounces the site’s new name ‘Nagara’; the landscape is shown as newly sanctified, with villagers/pilgrims gathering and a subtle aura marking the ground.
A sacred place becomes a tīrtha through divine sanction and righteous action; fame is framed as the byproduct of dharma.
The site is explicitly named: Nagara, a place on earth made famous by this event in the chapter.
No explicit rite here; it is a sthala-nāma (place-naming) proclamation establishing the site’s renown.
