Skanda (deduced from section context)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: A ritual courtyard at the edge of a sacred forest: a devotee offers five small bali portions on leaf-plates, each glistening with ghee; folded cloth and a tray of auspicious fruits are placed beside a lamp and incense, with priests chanting.
Dharma is enacted through generous, orderly offerings—devotion expressed as disciplined giving.
No particular tīrtha is specified; the passage gives procedural dharma within Dharmāraṇya.
Offer bali with ghee; perform five balis (bali-paṃcaka); give offerings measured as five prasthas, with cloth and auspicious fruits.
