पुलस्त्य उवाच । एतत्ते सर्वमाख्यातं यन्मां त्वं परिपृच्छसि । अर्बुदस्य महाराज माहात्म्यं हि समासतः
pulastya uvāca | etatte sarvamākhyātaṃ yanmāṃ tvaṃ paripṛcchasi | arbudasya mahārāja māhātmyaṃ hi samāsataḥ
Pulastya dit : Ô grand roi, tout ce que tu m’as demandé, je te l’ai exposé ; en vérité, la grandeur d’Arbuda a été dite en bref.
Pulastya
Tirtha: Arbuda
Type: peak
Listener: Mahārāja (king)
Scene: A sage (Pulastya) seated in a forest-āśrama, addressing a crowned king; palm-leaf manuscripts and a quiet hermitage atmosphere signal the closing of a section and the sanctity of transmitted knowledge.

Arbuda/Arbudācala (the Arbuda mountain region) is the focus.
None in this verse; it functions as a narrative transition and summary.
