paścātpratigrahaṃ vipraiḥ karttavyamiti niścitam | samāgameṣu viprāṇāṃ nyāyānyāyavinirṇaye
ત્યારબાદ બ્રાહ્મણોએ પ્રતિગ્રહ (દાન/દક્ષિણા સ્વીકાર) કરવો યોગ્ય છે એમ નિશ્ચિત થયું—બ્રાહ્મણોની સભાઓમાં ન્યાય-અન્યાયના નિર્ણય માટે।
Deductive: Sūta (dharma procedural narration) on assemblies and adjudicatory norms
Scene: A formal brāhmaṇa assembly seated in a hall; elders deliberate and then authorize acceptance of a gift/fee after determining what is just and unjust.
Dharma is safeguarded through accountable assemblies: decisions and related acceptances must follow a defined ethical order.
No holy site is praised; the focus is on dharmic procedure in communal decision-making.
A procedural prescription: only after proper steps, brāhmaṇas may accept (pratigraha) in the context of assemblies deciding justice.
