Kuru's Consecration — Kuru’s Consecration and the Sanctification of Samantapañcaka (Kurukshetra)
कीर्तिश्च शाश्वती तुभ्यं भविष्यति न संशयः तत्रैव याजका यज्ञान् यजिष्यन्ति सहस्रशः
kīrtiśca śāśvatī tubhyaṃ bhaviṣyati na saṃśayaḥ tatraiva yājakā yajñān yajiṣyanti sahasraśaḥ
Und für dich wird es unvergänglicher Ruhm geben—ohne Zweifel. Und ebendort werden die Opferpriester die Opferhandlungen (Yajñas) zu Tausenden vollziehen.

Dharma leaves a social footprint: the righteous act of surrender and generosity generates enduring reputation and inspires collective religiosity (yajñas). Personal virtue becomes communal uplift.
Vamśānucarita: a king’s story is used to explain why a particular place becomes ritually active and remembered—typical purāṇic linkage of character, merit, and later religious practice.
“Everlasting fame” is not mere worldly praise; it signifies dharmic memory encoded into sacred space and repeated ritual. The ‘thousands of yajñas’ indicates the transformation of a narrative moment into a living tradition.
