Tirtha: Kedāra/Kedārakṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A vast assembly: devas, sages, yakṣas, piśācas, nāgas, birds, siddhas, and cāraṇas deliberate and divide Brahmahatyā into four portions.
Purāṇic dharma presents purification as a cosmic process: communities and realms can collectively absorb and transform affliction.
No single site is singled out; the verse describes a cosmological arrangement tied to purification themes in the Kedāra section.
A structural prescription is implied: partitioning (caturdhā) and assigning shares of the burden to different orders of beings.
