അതുകൊണ്ട്, ഹേ അമരന്മാരേ, അവനെ വേഗത്തിൽ ഈ രാജാധികാരത്തിൽ സ്ഥാപിക്കുവിൻ. കാരണം ആ മഹാത്മാവും മഹാഭാഗ്യശാലിയായ യജമാനനുമായ നഹുഷൻ തൊണ്ണൂറ്റൊമ്പത് അശ്വമേധയാഗങ്ങൾ നിർവഹിച്ചു കഴിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു.
Nārada
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedāranātha)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/śrotṛs (implied)
Scene: Devas hasten to enthrone Nahūṣa; a radiant coronation scene is implied, with sacrificial horses and yajña imagery symbolically behind him, emphasizing ninety-nine Aśvamedhas as his credential.
Great authority is linked to accumulated merit (puṇya) and yajña—sacrifice undertaken in the spirit of dharma.
No single tīrtha is specified; the verse emphasizes yajña-based merit within the Kedārakhaṇḍa storyline.
Aśvamedha (horse sacrifice) is referenced as a royal yajña signifying immense merit; no direct instruction is given here.
