वेदिमध्यगतं वापि महदासनसंस्थितम् । सुरूपं सुभगं शान्तं सर्वभूतहिते रतम्
vedimadhyagataṃ vāpi mahadāsanasaṃsthitam | surūpaṃ subhagaṃ śāntaṃ sarvabhūtahite ratam
اس برہمن کو یا تو ویدی کے بیچ میں، یا ایک عظیم آسن پر بٹھاؤ—خوش صورت، باوقار، پُرسکون، اور تمام جانداروں کی بھلائی میں مشغول۔
Skanda (deduced)
Tirtha: Revā (Narmadā) tīrtha milieu
Type: kshetra
Listener: Pāṇḍunandana (Yudhiṣṭhira)
Scene: A serene moment: the honored brāhmaṇa is seated at the center of the altar or on a large seat, composed and benevolent; attendants stand respectfully with folded hands; the altar is orderly and luminous.
True religious authority is marked by peace and universal benevolence; such persons deserve central honor in ritual.
The verse belongs to the Revā-khaṇḍa milieu; it does not specify a single named tirtha.
Seat the honored brāhmaṇa either at the center of the altar-space or on a prominent seat.
