अनावृष्टिहते देशे सस्ये च प्रलयं गते । एकं यो भोजयेद्विप्रं कोटिर्भवति भोजिता
anāvṛṣṭihate deśe sasye ca pralayaṃ gate | ekaṃ yo bhojayedvipraṃ koṭirbhavati bhojitā

Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra

Feeding (bhojana/anna-dāna), specifically feeding a vipra, with stated multiplied spiritual merit during drought.
