याज्ञवल्क्य उवाच । एवं भवतु देवेश यत्त्वयोक्तं वचोऽखिलम् । परं मम वचोऽन्यच्च तच्छृणुष्व ब्रवीमि ते
yājñavalkya uvāca | evaṃ bhavatu deveśa yattvayoktaṃ vaco'khilam | paraṃ mama vaco'nyacca tacchṛṇuṣva bravīmi te
Yājñavalkya sprach: „So sei es, o Herr der Götter; möge alles, was du gesagt hast, sich erfüllen. Doch höre nun auch eine weitere Rede von mir; ich will sie dir vortragen.“
Yājñavalkya
Type: kshetra
Listener: Deveśa / Jagannātha (the presiding deity addressed)
Scene: Yājñavalkya, with matted hair and staff, stands in añjali before the deity near the lake; his face shows calm assent, then thoughtful resolve as he begins to speak anew.
Humility and orderly inquiry: the sage accepts divine instruction and then presents his own concern respectfully.
The broader Tīrthamāhātmya setting continues; this verse is a dialogue transition rather than a site-description.
None directly; it introduces the next request/teaching.
