इति ध्यात्वा क्षणं सांबोऽविशदंतःपुरंपितुः । मध्ये स्त्रैणसभंकृष्णं यावज्जांबवतीसुतः
iti dhyātvā kṣaṇaṃ sāṃbo'viśadaṃtaḥpuraṃpituḥ | madhye straiṇasabhaṃkṛṣṇaṃ yāvajjāṃbavatīsutaḥ
Pensando así por un instante, Sāmba —hijo de Jāmbavatī— entró en el palacio interior de su padre, donde Kṛṣṇa estaba en medio de la asamblea de las mujeres.
Narrator (Skanda to Agastya), deduced from Kāśī-khaṇḍa dialogic norm
Scene: Sāmba pauses, reflects, then enters his father’s inner palace; Kṛṣṇa is seated amid a women’s assembly (antaḥpura), creating a delicate, private court atmosphere.
It sets the narrative stage: inner reflection should be followed by responsible action and proper approach to elders/authority.
The chapter belongs to the Kāśī-khaṇḍa (Vārāṇasī’s sacred geography overall), but this verse is primarily narrative setup.
None in this verse.
