Every yajna described in Purana and Veda is undertaken by Pratapbhanu. Sacred enclosures appear across the realm, altars are prepared, mantras fill the air, and offerings meet flame according to the ancient forms.
He performs each sacrifice not once, but thousands upon thousands of times. The scale of royal resources becomes an instrument for worship, drawing priests, materials, discipline, and generosity into repeated acts of consecration.
Yet number is not the centre. Into every offering the king pours wholehearted devotion. The fire receives clarified butter and sacred substance, but also the inward attention that keeps vast ceremony from becoming hollow display.
Across thousands of altars, one undivided devotion rises with the smoke.
Read the passage from the Manas
जँह लगि कहे पुरान श्रुति एक एक सब जाग। बार सहस्त्र सहस्त्र नृप किए सहित अनुराग।।155।।
Every yajna that the Puranas and the Vedas describe, the king performed each one a thousand upon thousand times, pouring into every offering his whole-hearted devotion.
