Sūta (deduced from Purāṇic narration style within Māhātmya context)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A panoramic register showing five early categories: immovable beings (trees/rocks), serpents, birds, wild beasts, and cattle—each arriving or present around the sacred precinct in harmonious order.
All forms of life are counted within a sacred cosmic order, and yajña is portrayed as an event that concerns the whole creation.
Prabhāsakṣetra (Prabhāsa), described as the setting for a grand yajña within the Prabhāsa Khaṇḍa.
No direct prescription here; the verse classifies beings as part of the broader yajña narrative.
