चतुर्थी क्षेमला प्रोक्ता गोत्रमाता अनुक्रमात् । अस्मिन्गोत्रे तु ये जाताः पंचयज्ञरताः सदा
caturthī kṣemalā proktā gotramātā anukramāt | asmingotre tu ye jātāḥ paṃcayajñaratāḥ sadā
क्रमाने चौथी गोत्रमाता ‘क्षेमला’ अशी सांगितली आहे. या गोत्रात जन्मलेले लोक सदैव पंचयज्ञांत रत असतात.
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice addressing a king)
Scene: A calm genealogical recital: sages enumerating gotra-mothers; a household scene showing pañca-yajña—fire offering, svādhyāya, tarpana at water, feeding guests and creatures.
True lineage is shown through dharma—steady commitment to the pañca-yajñas and daily sacred duties.
The broader Dharmāraṇya sacred region is the setting; this verse focuses on gotra lineage rather than a single tirtha.
Devotion to the pañca-yajñas—daily offerings and duties traditionally including deva-, pitṛ-, bhūta-, manuṣya-, and brahma-yajña.
