Description of the Proclamation of Auspicious and Inauspicious Karmic Results
अयं यातु महाभागो देवदेवं सनातनम् ॥ अतिसृष्टः पुरा येन यथोक्ताः सुखदोहनाḥ ॥
ayaṃ yātu mahābhāgo devadevaṃ sanātanam || atisṛṣṭaḥ purā yena yathoktāḥ sukhadohanāḥ ||
ఈ మహాభాగుడు దేవదేవుడైన సనాతనుని చేరుగాక—యేన పురాకాలమున యథోక్తముగా సుఖదాయక విధానములను ప్రసరింపజేసెను.
Unspecified in fragment; defaulting to Varāha (instructor voice) within the Purāṇic dialogue frame
It reflects a Purāṇic idiom of linking moral order (prescriptions ‘as stated’) with post-mortem destination, a common narrative bridge into Yama/Citragupta-style karmic accounting episodes.
No specific toponym appears in this verse; it is oriented to a divine destination rather than a terrestrial site.
The verse frames auspicious destiny as aligned with adherence to established, benefit-yielding prescriptions (‘yathoktāḥ sukhadohanāḥ’), emphasizing moral causality rather than coercive doctrine.
