Après avoir répondu à ses paroles, je m’adressai à mon tour au seigneur des montagnes : «Ô roi des sommets, par toi la direction de l’est—et de même celle de l’ouest—fut dûment servie et soutenue.»
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa), narrating
Tirtha: Giriśvara (mountain-kshetra praised)
Type: peak
Listener: Giriśvara (mountain-king)
Scene: A narrator addresses a majestic mountain-king, gesturing to the eastern and western horizons as if acknowledging the mountain’s guardianship over the directions.
Great beings uphold the world by sustaining order—symbolized here as supporting the directions.
A mountain setting is implied, but no named tīrtha appears in this verse.
No explicit rite is prescribed; the verse continues a laudatory dialogue.
