ददुः समुद्रा रत्नानि ब्रह्मर्षिभ्यो नृपोत्तम । धनदोऽपि ददौ वित्तं सर्वब्राह्मणवाञ्छितम्
daduḥ samudrā ratnāni brahmarṣibhyo nṛpottama | dhanado'pi dadau vittaṃ sarvabrāhmaṇavāñchitam
नृपोत्तम, समुद्राः ब्रह्मर्षिभ्यः रत्नानि ददुः; धनदः कुबेरोऽपि सर्वब्राह्मणवाञ्छितं वित्तं ददौ।
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: nṛpottama / rājendra (king addressed)
Scene: A cosmic court-like assembly: brahmarṣis seated in serenity while the oceans personified offer jewel-treasures; Kubera presents heaps of gold and gems as sanctioned gifts.
True yajña is completed by generosity—honoring sages and brāhmaṇas with fitting gifts sustains dharma.
No single site is named; the verse evokes cosmic benefactors (oceans, Kubera) to magnify the rite’s sanctity within Revā Khaṇḍa.
It indicates dakṣiṇā/dāna: giving jewels and wealth to brahmarṣis and brāhmaṇas as part of the sacrificial economy.
