तादृशानां सहस्राणि लक्षकोट्यश्च सर्वशः । गृहानि निर्ममे विप्रो विष्णोर्लब्धवरस्तदा ॥ ११.३२ ॥
tādṛśānāṃ sahasrāṇi lakṣakoṭyaś ca sarvaśaḥ | gṛhāṇi nirmame vipro viṣṇor labdhavaras tadā || 11.32 ||
そのとき、ヴィシュヌ（Viṣṇu）より恩寵の願い（ヴァラ）を得たその婆羅門は、同様の家々をあらゆる所に建てさせた。千々、十万々、さらにはコーティ（koṭi）に及ぶほどであった。

FAQs
It illustrates a Purāṇic narrative trope: legitimizing large-scale social or architectural activity (settlement/house-building) through the motif of a boon granted by a major deity, while also employing hyperbolic number-terms (lakṣa, koṭi) typical of Purāṇic style.
No specific toponym or identifiable geographic site is named in this verse; it describes construction occurring 'sarvaśaḥ' (everywhere) without a fixed location.
Implicitly, the verse frames ordered habitation and constructive activity as culturally valuable when guided by learned agency (vipra) and sanctioned by a legitimate boon—presented as a model of responsible, sanctioned creation rather than arbitrary expansion.
