'ഹേ ബ്രാഹ്മണാ! ഈ രോഗത്തിനുള്ള ചികിത്സയോ പരിഹാരമോ പറഞ്ഞുതന്നാലും. അല്ലെങ്കിൽ വല്ല വ്രതമോ ദാനമോ യജ്ഞമോ നിർദ്ദേശിച്ചാലും.'
The King (addressing Vasiṣṭha)

Type: kshetra
Listener: null
Scene: The king, earnest and humbled, lists possible remedies—vow, charity, sacrifice—gesturing with open palms; Vasiṣṭha listens, poised to instruct.
Dharma offers multiple remedial paths—vows, charity, sacrifice—guided by wise counsel rather than impulse.
The Prabhāsa sacred region; the particular tīrtha (Brahmapadma/Mānasa) is described next.
Vrata (vow), dāna (charity), and yajña (sacrifice) are explicitly proposed as possible remedies.
