संप्राप्तस्तां पुरीं रम्यां तव राजकुलं गतः । ददर्शायांतमेकं स अजापालमजावृतम्
saṃprāptastāṃ purīṃ ramyāṃ tava rājakulaṃ gataḥ | dadarśāyāṃtamekaṃ sa ajāpālamajāvṛtam
Setibanya di kota yang indah itu dan memasuki lingkungan istana diraja, dia melihat Ajāpāla datang menghampiri—seorang diri, dikelilingi kawanan kambing.
Narrator
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Dhūmrākṣa enters a beautiful city and the royal compound; Ajāpāla appears alone, encircled by goats—an unusual, memorable tableau blending royalty and pastoral life.
True strength in Purāṇic dharma can appear in humble forms, not merely in royal or martial display.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra remains the overarching sacred landscape of the chapter.
None; the verse describes the messenger’s arrival and sighting of Ajāpāla.
