Narrator (contextual Purāṇic speaker; describing the scene)
Tirtha: Vastrāpatha-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A lively devotional gathering: some sing, some laugh, some dance, some recite; victory-cries ring out, all occurring respectfully before a seated venerable guru/elder.
Bhakti expresses itself through song, recitation, and joyful praise—especially when guided by a venerable authority.
The immediate scene is celestial (Nandana/Indra-loka), magnifying the sanctity of the wider Vastrāpatha narrative.
Recitation (pāṭha) and praise (stuti) are implied as devotional acts.
