सावित्रीं ब्रह्मणे प्रादाल्लक्ष्मीं विष्णोर्महात्मनः । कस्यचित्त्वथ कालस्य स ईजे दक्षिणावता
sāvitrīṃ brahmaṇe prādāllakṣmīṃ viṣṇormahātmanaḥ | kasyacittvatha kālasya sa īje dakṣiṇāvatā
اس نے ساوتری کو برہما کے سپرد کیا اور لکشمی کو عظیم النفس وشنو کے حوالے کیا۔ پھر کچھ زمانہ گزرنے پر اس نے دکشِنا اور دان سے بھرپور یَجْن کیا۔
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice within Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya; traditionally Sūta relating the account)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra (sectional setting)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Implied audience within Prabhāsa-māhātmya (not explicit in this verse)
Scene: A donor-figure offers Sāvitrī to Brahmā and Lakṣmī to Viṣṇu; then a grand yajña begins with abundant dakṣiṇā—piles of gold, cows, cloth—priests chanting around a blazing altar.
Dharma is upheld through yajña and generous dakṣiṇā—sacrifice joined with charity sustains cosmic and social order.
The chapter is situated in the Prabhāsakṣetra Māhātmya, framing such sacrificial narratives as part of Prabhāsa’s sanctity.
Performance of yajña accompanied by dakṣiṇā—proper gifts/fees to officiants and charitable giving.
