ahamāsaṃ purā vipra camatkārapurottame | yuvā paramatejasvī dhanavānsusamṛddhibhāk
«កាលពីមុន ឱ ព្រហ្មណ៍! នៅក្នុងទីក្រុងដ៏ប្រសើរឈ្មោះ ចមត្ការបុរៈ ខ្ញុំជាយុវជនម្នាក់ ពន្លឺរុងរឿងដោយកម្លាំងធំ មានទ្រព្យសម្បត្តិ និងសេចក្តីសម្បូរបែបយ៉ាងច្រើន»។
An unnamed man (continuing his personal account)
Tirtha: Camatkārapura (as narrative origin)
Type: kshetra
Listener: the brāhmaṇa (vipra)
Scene: Flashback tableau: a radiant young wealthy man in a splendid city—mansions, markets, banners—standing confident, adorned, surrounded by signs of abundance.
Worldly prosperity and youth are temporary conditions that often set the stage for a deeper dharmic turning through tīrtha and devotion.
The verse names Camatkārapura as the narrator’s former residence; the tīrtha focus emerges in the subsequent verses of the adhyāya.
None in this verse; it establishes the narrator’s background before the pilgrimage episode.
