Are there any references in shastra for Kuruksetra being dharmaksetra?
- व्यवस्थापक का उत्तर
Yes. Śrī Viśvanātha Cakravartī writes, "kurukṣetraṁ deva-yajanam" iti śruteḥ -- The śruti says, "Kurukṣetra is the place of yajña, sacrifice to the devas". That is why it is called 'dharma'kṣetra, because dharma in the Vedas refers to yajña.
