गणावूचतुः । इत्थमग्निस्वरूपं ते शिवशर्मन्प्रवर्णितम् । किमन्यच्छ्रोतुकामोसि कथयावस्तदीरय
gaṇāvūcatuḥ | itthamagnisvarūpaṃ te śivaśarmanpravarṇitam | kimanyacchrotukāmosi kathayāvastadīraya
Die Gaṇas sprachen: „So ist deine feurige Natur geschildert, o Śivaśarman. Was willst du noch hören? Sage es uns — sprich es deutlich aus.“
Gaṇas (attendants of Śiva)
Tirtha: Kāśī (gaṇa-sannidhya)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and sages (frame typical; not stated in verse)
Scene: A group of gaṇas—dwarf-like, fierce yet benevolent—address Śivaśarman; flames or a fiery aura motif illustrates ‘agni-svarūpa’; the scene is conversational, with gestures inviting further questions.
Sacred instruction proceeds through dialogue—humble inquiry and clear articulation deepen understanding of divine qualities.
No specific tīrtha is named in this verse; it functions as a transition in the Kāśī-khaṇḍa discourse.
None; it is a conversational prompt to continue the teaching.
