युष्माकं वर्तनार्थाय सर्वकृत्येषु सर्वदा । एते विप्रा मया दत्ता गर्तातीर्थसमुद्भवाः
yuṣmākaṃ vartanārthāya sarvakṛtyeṣu sarvadā | ete viprā mayā dattā gartātīrthasamudbhavāḥ
तुमच्या निर्वाहासाठी व योग्य व्यवस्था राखण्यासाठी, सर्वदा सर्व कर्तव्यांत, गर्तातीर्थातून उद्भवलेले हे ब्राह्मण मी तुम्हांस नेमले आहेत।
King (rājā)
Tirtha: Garttātīrtha
Type: tirtha
Scene: The king formally assigns a group of brāhmaṇas—said to have arisen from Garttātīrtha—to serve an institution/community for all duties, ensuring their sustenance.
A tīrtha’s prosperity is upheld by properly supported dharmic functionaries who guide rites and conduct.
Garttātīrtha is explicitly named as the origin of the brāhmaṇas.
The verse implies ongoing performance of sarva-kṛtya—regular rites and duties—under the guidance of appointed brāhmaṇas.
