श्रुतिस्मृतिपुराणोक्तान्धर्मानाचरत द्विजाः । निशम्य सोमस्य वचो विनीतमिति ते द्विजाः
śrutismṛtipurāṇoktāndharmānācarata dvijāḥ | niśamya somasya vaco vinītamiti te dvijāḥ
Nachdem sie Somas demütige Weisung vernommen hatten, nahmen jene Dvija sich vor, die in Śruti, Smṛti und den Purāṇas verkündeten Dharmas zu üben.
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator continuing the account)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: dvijāḥ
Scene: A respectful assembly: Soma speaks gently; dvijas listen with folded hands; behind them are symbolic stacks of Śruti/Smṛti/Purāṇa manuscripts; the temple’s presence sanctifies the scene.
Dharma is validated through the combined authority of Śruti, Smṛti, and Purāṇic teaching, and must be lived in practice.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where Soma’s directives become the living code of conduct for the resident dvijas.
A general injunction: follow and enact dharmas taught in the canonical sources (Śruti–Smṛti–Purāṇa).
