नाभाग उवाच । अर्द्धराज्यं समस्तं वा निषादेभ्यः प्रदीयताम् । एतन्मूल्यमहं मन्ये किं वाऽन्यन्मन्यसे द्विज
nābhāga uvāca | arddharājyaṃ samastaṃ vā niṣādebhyaḥ pradīyatām | etanmūlyamahaṃ manye kiṃ vā'nyanmanyase dvija
纳婆伽说道:“当将我半壁王国,乃至整个疆土,施与尼沙陀族。我以此为相称之酬。或者,婆罗门啊,你认为还有别的更合宜的吗?”
Nabhāga
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Āpastamba
Scene: Nabhāga, intense and sincere, offers half or all his kingdom to the Niṣādas; a symbolic map/scroll of the realm is presented, while the sage remains composed, weighing propriety.
Dharma may demand radical generosity; a righteous king values justice and merit over attachment to sovereignty.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, where the narrative associates sacred space with extraordinary dāna and ethical resolve.
An extreme form of dāna is proposed—granting land/kingdom to the Niṣādas.
