ब्रह्महत्या नोपसर्पेत्सत्यमेतन्मयोदितम् । मासोपवासी तत्क्षेत्रे अग्निहोत्री यतव्रतः
brahmahatyā nopasarpetsatyametanmayoditam | māsopavāsī tatkṣetre agnihotrī yatavrataḥ
اس کشیتر میں برہماہتیا کا پاپ قریب نہیں آتا—یہ سچ میں کہتا ہوں۔ اس دھام میں جو ایک ماہ کا اُپواس رکھے، اگنی ہوترا قائم کرے اور یت ورت کا پابند رہے—
Śiva (deduced from Mahādevī-addressed dialogue in this adhyāya)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa/Viṣṇu-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Interlocutor receiving Prabhāsa-kṣetra instructions
Scene: A disciplined pilgrim-householder tends a small sacred fire (agnihotra) near the kṣetra, observing a month-fast; a protective aura around the precinct symbolizes brahma-hatyā being unable to approach.
A supremely holy kṣetra supports purification and protection from grave sin when paired with disciplined practice.
The sacred kṣetra within Prabhāsakṣetra-māhātmya (contextually the Viṣṇu-kṣetra/Prabhāsa region).
Māsopavāsa (month-long fast), agnihotra, and observance of restrained vows (vrata-niyama).
