स्थावरः सर्पजातिश्च पक्षिजातिस्तथैव च । मृगसंज्ञश्चतुर्थश्च पश्वाख्यः पञ्चमः स्मृतः
sthāvaraḥ sarpajātiśca pakṣijātistathaiva ca | mṛgasaṃjñaścaturthaśca paśvākhyaḥ pañcamaḥ smṛtaḥ
“Ang unang pangkat ay ang mga di-nakakilos; ang ikalawa ay ang lahing ahas; ang ikatlo ay ang lahing ibon. Ang ikaapat ay kilala bilang mga hayop sa gubat, at ang ikalima ay inaalala bilang lahing mga alagang hayop.”
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.
