毗湿摩波耶那曰：在那神圣的内坛之中，以那罗陀为首的诸大圣贤与诸王仙同坐，光彩照人。其临在使祭殿具足天廷集会之庄严；学识、克制与仪轨秩序，共同护持国王依于法（dharma）而行的宏业。
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse highlights dharmic kingship supported by learned sages: a ruler’s public acts (especially sacrifice and governance) gain legitimacy and ethical weight when conducted within ritual order and under the guidance of spiritually accomplished teachers.
In the sacrificial precinct, eminent sages headed by Nārada are seated alongside royal seers, and their gathered presence makes the scene resemble a divine assembly, underscoring the grandeur and solemnity of the rite being performed.
