अश्वमेधशतेनैव यज त्वं जातवेदसम् । कर्म्मभूमिं गतो भूत्वा मा विलंबितुमर्हसि
aśvamedhaśatenaiva yaja tvaṃ jātavedasam | karmmabhūmiṃ gato bhūtvā mā vilaṃbitumarhasi
నీవు శత అశ్వమేధ యజ్ఞములచే జాతవేదసు (అగ్ని)ని విధివిధానముగా ఆరాధించుము. కర్మభూమికి చేరిన తరువాత ఇక ఆలస్యం చేయుట నీకు తగదు.
Śukra (within Sūta’s narration)
Scene: A commanding preceptor-voice urges the king to worship Agni Jātavedas through a hundred Aśvamedhas and to depart immediately for the ritual ground; the mood is directive and martial-ritual.
Dharma is enacted through timely, disciplined sacred action; delay weakens resolve and merit.
The verse points to a “karmabhūmi” (proper ritual ground); the narrative soon specifies a great tīrtha on the Narmadā.
Performance of one hundred Aśvamedha yajñas, with Agni (Jātavedas) as the sacrificial focus.
