मृदुवस्त्रधरां साक्षात्क्षौमवस्त्रावगुण्ठिताम् । निष्क्रम्य पत्नीशालात ऋत्विग्भिर्वेदपारगैः
mṛduvastradharāṃ sākṣātkṣaumavastrāvaguṇṭhitām | niṣkramya patnīśālāta ṛtvigbhirvedapāragaiḥ
Khoác y phục mềm mại và che mặt bằng vải lanh, nàng bước ra khỏi điện dành cho các phu nhân, được các tế sư (ṛtvij) tinh thông Veda tháp tùng.
Īśvara (Śiva)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: From the patnī-śālā (wives’ hall), Gāyatrī emerges in soft garments, linen veil drawn, escorted by Veda-knowing ṛtviks; the threshold to the yajña pavilion is marked by kuśa and auspicious symbols.
Dharma is upheld through disciplined ritual order—purity, modesty, and correct accompaniment in yajña are treated as sacred obligations.
Prabhāsakṣetra (Prabhāsa), presented as a sanctified landscape where Vedic rites unfold with exemplary propriety.
The verse highlights yajña protocol: the patnī (wife) emerges from the patnīśālā in proper attire/veil, accompanied by qualified ṛtvij priests.
