इत्युक्तस्तु तदा दैत्यः प्रत्युवाच जनार्द्दनम् । अग्निष्टोमादिभिर्यज्ञैवेदाभ्यासैरनेकधा

Được nói như vậy, bấy giờ tên Daitya đáp lời Janārdana: “Nhờ các lễ tế như Agniṣṭoma, và nhờ chuyên cần học tụng Veda theo nhiều cách…”
Daitya (Tala) to Viṣṇu (Janārdana)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa Kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/assembly (typical frame)
Scene: The demon, still subdued, speaks with animated hands as if reciting a list; faint sacrificial imagery (altar, fire) appears symbolically behind him, indicating Agniṣṭoma and Vedic study.
Meritorious acts like yajña and Vedic discipline are acknowledged as powerful means—yet their fruit depends on inner intent, which the dialogue will clarify.
The narrative belongs to Prabhāsa-kṣetra-māhātmya, where spiritual merit and divine encounter are thematically emphasized.
Agniṣṭoma and other yajñas, along with Vedic study (vedābhyāsa), are referenced as merit-producing disciplines.
