आनर्त उवाच । प्रोक्ताऽस्माकं त्वया विप्र शुद्धिर्नागरसंभवा । वंशजा विस्तरेणैव यथा पृष्टोऽसि सुव्रत

Ānarta nói: Hỡi Bà-la-môn, ngài đã giải thích cho chúng tôi về sự thanh tẩy Nāgara bắt nguồn từ dòng dõi, một cách đầy đủ chi tiết, đúng như ngài đã được hỏi, hỡi bậc tu hành với những lời thề nguyện cao quý.
Ānarta

Scene: A regional ruler/personified Ānarta addresses a brāhmaṇa-sage with folded hands, acknowledging the completed explanation and inviting the next topic; backdrop hints at western Indian landscape and a Śiva-kṣetra nearby.
Dharma is learned through respectful inquiry and careful exposition, especially regarding purification and ritual eligibility.
The wider narrative belongs to the Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra-māhātmya within the Nāgara-khaṇḍa.
No new rite is prescribed here; it acknowledges the prior teaching on lineage-based purification.
