पुरं प्रकल्पयामास बहुप्राकारसंकुलम् । प्राकारपरिखायुक्तं गोपुरैः समलंकृतम्
puraṃ prakalpayāmāsa bahuprākārasaṃkulam | prākāraparikhāyuktaṃ gopuraiḥ samalaṃkṛtam
اس نے ایک شہر کی ترتیب کرائی جو بہت سے فصیلوں سے بھرا ہوا تھا؛ دیواروں اور خندقوں سے آراستہ، اور گوپور (دروازہ برجوں) سے خوب مزین۔
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A newly planned city rises: concentric ramparts, a surrounding moat, and ornate gopuras; craftsmen measure and build; flags flutter; the sacred landscape frames the urban geometry.
Creating orderly, protected sacred settlements is presented as a righteous royal duty that supports dharma and pilgrimage.
The verse describes building within the holy kṣetra of Adhyāya 113 (Nāgarakhaṇḍa); the tīrtha name is not specified here.
No ritual is prescribed; the focus is on dharmic construction and civic-sacral infrastructure.
