भृगुरुवाच । देवशर्मा ततो हृष्टो दत्त्वा पुण्यं त्रिवाचिकम् । चतुर्थाशं ययौ धाम स्वं सुभद्रोऽपि च स्थितः
bhṛguruvāca | devaśarmā tato hṛṣṭo dattvā puṇyaṃ trivācikam | caturthāśaṃ yayau dhāma svaṃ subhadro'pi ca sthitaḥ
婆利古说道:于是天护者(Devaśarman)欢喜无比,以三重庄严誓言授与功德;并在施与四分之一之后,返回自己的住处。苏婆陀罗亦留在彼处,安住不动。

Tirtha: Gaṅgārṇava (contextual)
Type: tirtha
Listener: Nārada (overall frame)
Scene: Devaśarman, radiant with delight, pronounces a threefold solemn declaration granting a fourth share of his tapas-merit; the scene ends with his dignified departure toward a luminous ‘svadhāma,’ while Subhadra remains steadfast at the tīrtha.
Righteous agreements around sacred rites culminate in joy, blessing, and the orderly fruition of merit.
The episode context centers on Gaṅgārṇava (named earlier) as the setting for śrāddha and merit.
The verse concludes the transaction of merit (a fourth share) connected to the śrāddha arrangement.
