Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator; specific speaker not explicit in this verse)
Tirtha: Vasiṣṭhāśrama (as implied)
Type: kshetra
Listener: dvijottama (addressed)
Scene: Viśvāmitra arrives at a serene hermitage: thatched huts, sacred fire, deer roaming calmly; Vasiṣṭha notices the king approaching and prepares to receive him.
A holy āśrama is a refuge where worldly power meets spiritual authority, initiating transformation through dharma and guidance.
Vasiṣṭha’s sacred āśrama is highlighted as puṇya (holy), though the broader tīrtha name is not specified in this single verse.
No explicit rite; the focus is on approaching a sanctified hermitage.
