ତେବେ ସେମାନେ ସମାହିତଚିତ୍ତରେ କହିଲେ—“ଏହେତୁ ଆମକୁ ରମ୍ୟ ଗୃହ ଦିଅ; ଏବଂ ରାଜାଙ୍କଠାରୁ ଭୂମି ନେଇ, ଆମେ ଯାହା ଆକାଂକ୍ଷା କରୁଛୁ ସେହି ଜୀବିକା ମଧ୍ୟ ପ୍ରଦାନ କର।”
The wives (bhāryāḥ)
Scene: A respectful audience in a royal court: composed petitioners request homes and land; the king, embodying rājadharma, grants resources. In the distance, a temple/tīrtha indicates the sacred purpose of settlement.
Social dharma links kingship and welfare: stability of home and livelihood supports dharmic living.
No tīrtha is mentioned in this verse.
Not a ritual; it implies dharmic giving/royal provision—homes, land, and means of livelihood.
