Pulastya (deduced from Arbuda Khaṇḍa narrative frame)
Tirtha: Aviyukta-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: King (nṛpa)
Scene: In the sacred precinct, brāhmaṇas praise fruit-gifting; a childless woman offers a basket of fruits with folded hands, receiving blessings; the kṣetra’s grove/shrine stands behind.
Charity aligned with place and tradition—here, fruit-giving—becomes spiritually potent and is praised by the learned.
The instruction belongs to the Aviyukta-kṣetra māhātmya context in Arbuda Khaṇḍa (the local sacred field being praised).
Phaladāna (donation of fruits), highlighted as especially beneficial for seeking putra-phala (the blessing of offspring).
