Unspecified (didactic list within the teaching; likely Brahmā continuing)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A dharma tableau: sages and householders in sat-saṅga; a brāhmaṇa recites Veda; a cow is respectfully gifted; offerings are made to a sacred fire; a guru is honored; people speak truthfully in a calm assembly.
Dharma is upheld through community with the virtuous, reverence, disciplined worship, charity, sacred learning, and truthfulness.
No specific site is named in this verse; it supports the broader tīrtha-ethos by prescribing conduct befitting pilgrims and householders.
Guru-deva-agni tarpaṇa, go-pradāna (cow-gift), veda-pāṭha, and satya-bhāṣaṇa are explicitly prescribed.
