愿一切以诵习吠陀与礼拜供养为首(brahma-ādi)之行,昼夜不息而行;并以慈悲之举,除去贫者、盲者、困乏者等众之苦恼。
Soma (the Moon-god), addressing the dvijas/ritual leaders at Prabhāsa
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: Two parallel vignettes: (1) a hall of Vedic recitation and worship continuing day and night with lamps; (2) compassionate townspeople offering food, guiding the blind, and comforting the poor—affliction dissolving in the sacred town.
True kṣetra-dharma combines uninterrupted sacred practice with active compassion that alleviates suffering.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where religious continuity and public welfare are portrayed as part of the tīrtha’s order.
Maintain ongoing brahma-ādi duties (Vedic rites, recitation, worship) and institute acts that remove the distress of the needy.
