अथ ते वालखिल्याख्या मुनयः संशितव्रताः । एकां समिधमादाय साहाय्यार्थं प्रजापतेः । प्रस्थिता यज्ञवाटं तं भारार्ताः क्लेशसंयुताः
atha te vālakhilyākhyā munayaḥ saṃśitavratāḥ | ekāṃ samidhamādāya sāhāyyārthaṃ prajāpateḥ | prasthitā yajñavāṭaṃ taṃ bhārārtāḥ kleśasaṃyutāḥ
于是,那些名为婆罗吉利耶的牟尼——誓行坚固——各自取一根供火的柴薪(samidh),为助生主之事而出发,前往那祭坛之围场;他们负重而行,备受艰辛。
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic voice; likely Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa style narration within Māhātmya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A line of diminutive Vālakhilya sages, each carrying a single samidh, trudges toward the yajña enclosure; their faces show strain yet unwavering resolve; dust and heat shimmer on the path.
Even the smallest offering carried with vow-bound sincerity becomes sacred service (seva) in support of dharma.
The verse describes movement toward a yajña-vāṭa within the tīrtha-māhātmya narrative; the tīrtha name is not explicit here.
Carrying samidh (fuel for the sacred fire) for a yajña—an implied act of assisting sacrificial performance.
