Narrator (contextual Purāṇic teacher addressing a king; exact speaker not in snippet)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A serene Dharmāraṇya settlement: well-kept hermitages, sacrificial altars, peaceful brāhmaṇas with families, cows, and students; a yajña in progress with orderly ritual implements.
A holy place is known by the virtues and disciplined lives of its residents—peace, restraint, and competence in sacred rites.
Dharmāraṇya itself is praised as a region where exemplary dvijas and sacrificial culture flourish.
Performance and mastery of kratu-karma (sacrificial rites) is highlighted, though no single sacrifice is named.
