At the heart of tīrtha-dharma is sustained compassion—where giving and feeding become the dominant ‘sound’ of righteousness.
The sacrificial enclosure within the Nāgara Khaṇḍa Tīrthamāhātmya setting is glorified; the exact toponym is not stated in this verse.
No new procedure; it emphasizes the uninterrupted practice of dāna/annadāna as the defining conduct within the yajña-vāṭa.
