Agastya–Lopāmudrā: Marriage, Austerity, and Conditions for Conjugal Union (लोमशकथितम्)
अक्षये देवयजने अक्षयं यत्र वै फलम्,देवताओंकी वह यज्ञभूमि अक्षय है और वहाँ किये हुए प्रत्येक सत्कर्मका फल अक्षय होता है
akṣaye devayajane akṣayaṁ yatra vai phalam
Sinabi ni Vaiśaṃpāyana: “Ito ay isang di-nasisirang banal na lupain para sa paghahandog sa mga diyos; at anumang matuwid na gawa na isinasagawa roon ay nagbubunga ng di-nasisirang gantimpala.”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that certain sacred contexts—especially a properly sanctified place of worship and sacrifice—magnify and preserve the merit of righteous actions; ethical deeds done there are said to yield an ‘akṣaya’ (inexhaustible) result.
Vaiśaṃpāyana, narrating the events of the Vana Parva, identifies a particular sacrificial ground as ‘imperishable’ and emphasizes its special potency: acts of worship and virtuous conduct performed there produce enduring spiritual reward.
