सोऽभीहितः प्रजाभिस्तु प्रजाहितचिकीर्षया । धनुर्गृहीत्वा बाणांश्च वसुधामार्दयद्बली
so'bhīhitaḥ prajābhistu prajāhitacikīrṣayā | dhanurgṛhītvā bāṇāṃśca vasudhāmārdayadbalī
یوں رعایا کے کہنے پر، ان کی بھلائی کی نیت سے، اس زورآور نے کمان اور تیر اٹھائے اور زمین (وسُدھا) کو دباکر تابع کرنے لگا۔
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator, contextually Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Pṛthu, mighty and intent on welfare, grips bow and arrows; the Earth beneath seems resistant; the moment is charged—force poised, not wanton.
Power is justified when used for lokasaṅgraha—protecting and sustaining the people.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the sacred setting where dharma narratives are recounted to magnify the tīrtha’s sanctity.
None; the focus is on decisive rāja-dharma action for public welfare.
