Tirtha: Jyeṣṭhasthāna
Type: kshetra
Listener: Mahāmune
Scene: Śivā in mid-play: limbs rising and lowering with effortless lightness; a subtle aura of fragrance; bees hovering around her eyes as if drawn to divine sweetness; the motion suggests lāsya-dance within a ball-game.

Jyeṣṭhasthāna in Kāśī, continuing the scene of Śivā’s sportive presence.
None; the verse is descriptive, establishing the devotional mood of the narrative.
