किमायामं च विस्तारं क्व चांतः क्व च पीठिका । इति चिंतान्विता विष्णुमूचुः सर्वे सुरास्तदा
kimāyāmaṃ ca vistāraṃ kva cāṃtaḥ kva ca pīṭhikā | iti ciṃtānvitā viṣṇumūcuḥ sarve surāstadā
«Quelle est sa longueur et sa largeur ? Où est sa limite, et où est sa base ?»—ainsi, pleins de souci, tous les dieux s’adressèrent alors à Viṣṇu.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (deduced)
Tirtha: Kedāra-liṅga
Type: kshetra
Scene: Gods gaze up and down the endless pillar, shading their eyes; anxiety and wonder mix as they ask Viṣṇu about its dimensions, end, and base.

Kedāra-khaṇḍa’s sacred landscape frames this revelation of the immeasurable liṅga.
None; it is narrative inquiry leading to a quest motif.
