Так установлено, о лучшие из брахманов: это древнее священное предание. Кто с преданностью читает это изложение мер юг, тот обретает его заслугу.
Narrative voice (Purāṇic exposition; vocative suggests address to sages/brāhmaṇas)
Tirtha: Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: brāhmaṇas/ṛṣis (addressed as brāhmaṇa-śreṣṭhāḥ)
Scene: A learned assembly of brāhmaṇas listening as the narrator affirms an ancient śruti-tradition; palm-leaf manuscripts and a sacred setting evoke the authority of yuga-measures.
Devotional study of sacred teachings is itself a dharmic act that yields merit and right understanding.
The larger frame is the Hāṭakeśvara sacred region, but this verse highlights the merit of recitation rather than a specific tīrtha.
