Pratāpamukuṭa (promise of reward; implied)
Tirtha: Setukṣetra (Setu)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The king raises his hand in oath-like assurance, promising any desired reward; Aśokadatta listens, composed, sacred thread visible, strength restrained by discipline.
Dāna (generous giving) is a hallmark of righteous kingship when offered to worthy merit and service.
The Setu sacred region frames the chapter, but this verse itself highlights ethical kingship rather than a tīrtha description.
Charity (dāna) is implied as the king’s vow to reward, though no specific rite is prescribed.
