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).
