Едва он прибыл, как по счастливому стечению обстоятельств через брахмана царь вместе со свитой и войском был накормлен безупречно приготовленной, изысканной пищей. Он спросил: «Что это? В чём причина, и какая сила совершает это?»
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator; contextually Sūta-like narration)
Tirtha: Jamadagni-āśrama (Revā-tīra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A grand yet ascetic feast appears: the king and his entire retinue are served flawless dishes by calm brāhmaṇa presence; the king gestures in astonished inquiry toward the sage.
True abundance arises from dharmic sanctity; worldly power is compelled to inquire before spiritual power.
The setting belongs to the Revā (Narmadā) region celebrated throughout the Revā Khaṇḍa.
The verse implies atithi-dharma (hospitality to guests), though no formal vow or rite is prescribed explicitly.
