अथ तस्य मुनींद्रस्य रेतश्चस्कन्द तत्क्षणात् । दृष्ट्वा तां चारुसर्वांगीं जलमध्यं समाश्रिताम्
atha tasya munīṃdrasya retaścaskanda tatkṣaṇāt | dṛṣṭvā tāṃ cārusarvāṃgīṃ jalamadhyaṃ samāśritām
Da floss in eben diesem Augenblick der Same jenes Herrn unter den Munis hervor, als er sie sah—an allen Gliedern lieblich—wie sie mitten im Wasser verweilte.

Scene: The sage’s composure breaks: a subtle but dramatic moment where his seed falls instantly as he beholds the woman in the water; depict inner turmoil through posture and aura rather than explicitness, with the river central.
Even great ascetics may face sudden lapses when confronted by sense-objects; vigilance and inner discipline are implied.
The episode occurs at a riverbank/waterside sacred setting; tīrtha-glory is carried by the broader narrative rather than a named site in this verse.
None; it is a narrative moment within the māhātmya.
