ततः स ब्राह्मणेंद्राणामर्पयामास सादरम् । रक्षार्थं भार्गवश्रेष्ठो विनयावनतः स्थितः
tataḥ sa brāhmaṇeṃdrāṇāmarpayāmāsa sādaram | rakṣārthaṃ bhārgavaśreṣṭho vinayāvanataḥ sthitaḥ
मग भार्गवश्रेष्ठ परशुराम विनयाने नतमस्तक होऊन उभा राहिला आणि रक्षणार्थ ब्राह्मणश्रेष्ठांना ती यष्टी आदराने अर्पण केली.

True greatness includes humility and service—offering power and protection into the hands of dhārmic custodians.
The verse belongs to the tīrtha-glorifying chapter in Nāgarakhaṇḍa; the place is contextual to the chapter though unnamed here.
Entrusting a consecrated object to brāhmaṇas for protective guardianship and ongoing reverent care.
