तत्र यद्दीयते दानं तस्य संख्या न विद्यते । अर्द्धक्रोशप्रमाणं हि विष्णुक्षेत्रं प्रकीर्त्तितम्
tatra yaddīyate dānaṃ tasya saṃkhyā na vidyate | arddhakrośapramāṇaṃ hi viṣṇukṣetraṃ prakīrttitam
ທານໃດທີ່ຖວາຍຢູ່ທີ່ນັ້ນ ຜົນບຸນຂອງມັນບໍ່ອາດນັບຄໍານວນໄດ້. ວິສນຸ-ເຂດນັ້ນ ຖືກປະກາດວ່າກວ້າງຍາວເທົ່າຄຶ່ງກໂຣຊາ.
Śiva (deduced from Mahādevī-addressed dialogue in this adhyāya)
Tirtha: Viṣṇu-kṣetra (within Prabhāsa)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Interlocutor seeking Prabhāsa’s merits
Scene: Pilgrims within a clearly marked sacred precinct offer gifts to brāhmaṇas/ascetics near a Viṣṇu shrine; a subtle boundary marker indicates ‘half-krośa’ extent; the sea-coast atmosphere of Prabhāsa surrounds the scene.
Giving in a sanctified kṣetra yields immeasurable spiritual return; place amplifies dharma.
A Viṣṇu-kṣetra within the Prabhāsa sacred region, defined as half a krośa in extent.
Dāna (charitable giving) at the kṣetra is praised as yielding immeasurable merit.
