अजासमजतो मध्यात्काचिदेका च बर्करी । भ्रांता सती समायाता प्रदेशे तत्र दुश्चरे
ajāsamajato madhyātkācidekā ca barkarī | bhrāṃtā satī samāyātā pradeśe tatra duścare
ومن وسط قطيع الماعز خرجت «بَركَري» واحدة منفردة؛ وقد تاهت وهي هائمة، حتى بلغت تلك الناحية الوعرة عسيرة المسلك.

Scene: A herd of goats in a forested coastal tract; one lone barkarī separates, looking back anxiously, then steps into a thorny, hard-to-traverse thicket near the tīrtha.
Purāṇic tīrtha-stories often begin with a wandering figure whose arrival becomes the seed for a sacred explanation and later merit.
The verse continues the setting near Staṃbha-tīrtha (named in the preceding verse).
None in this verse.
