ततो निःक्षत्रिये लोके कृत्वा हयमखं च सः । प्रायच्छत्सकलामुर्वीं ब्राह्मणेभ्यश्च दक्षिणाम्
tato niḥkṣatriye loke kṛtvā hayamakhaṃ ca saḥ | prāyacchatsakalāmurvīṃ brāhmaṇebhyaśca dakṣiṇām
បន្ទាប់មក នៅពេលលោកបានគ្មានក្សត្រីយៈ ព្រះអង្គបានធ្វើពិធីហយមខ (អશ્વមេធ) ហើយបានប្រគល់ផែនដីទាំងមូល ព្រមទាំងទានដក្សិណា ដល់ព្រះព្រាហ្មណ៍ទាំងឡាយ។
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra (contextual locus)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Aśvamedha setting: sacrificial enclosure, horse with ceremonial ornaments, priests chanting; Paraśurāma offers the earth symbolically—maps/soil in a golden vessel—along with dakṣiṇā to brāhmaṇas.
Ritual power is completed by generosity: yajña is paired with dāna and dakṣiṇā, affirming the Purāṇic ethic of redistribution and humility.
The chapter’s sacred setting remains tied to Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra, within whose māhātmya the narrative unfolds.
Performance of hayamakha (Aśvamedha) and the giving of dakṣiṇā—along with the gifting of land/earth to brāhmaṇas.
