Type: kshetra
Scene: A remorseful man walks toward a forest hermitage where ascetics reside; his posture is bent, hands clasped, eyes downcast; ahead, tapasvins sit near a sacred fire and water source, embodying refuge and discipline.
FAQs

None explicitly; the implied prescription is approaching tapasvīs for upadeśa and prāyaścitta.
