Narrative voice (contextual; framed as the narrator introducing tīrtha-phala)
Tirtha: Dharmāraṇya (sectional focus)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis (Naimiṣa assembly; implied)
Scene: A narrator with palm-leaf manuscript raises his hand in vow-like gesture, indicating he will proclaim tīrtha fruits; above, a cluster of deities bestow grace; in the foreground, he bows to the all-controlling righteous Lord.
Divine remembrance (smaraṇa) and grace are presented as powerful means for purification, leading into the teaching on tīrtha merits.
The verse announces the topic—tīrtha fruits—without naming a particular site yet; the Dharmāraṇya tīrtha-field is the implied setting.
Smaraṇa (remembering) and praṇāma (bowing) are emphasized as devotional acts preceding tīrtha discourse.
