संस्थानं कीदृशं तस्यास्तस्यां के च महीभुजः । कानि तीर्थानि पुण्यानि माहात्म्यं तेषु कीदृशम्
saṃsthānaṃ kīdṛśaṃ tasyāstasyāṃ ke ca mahībhujaḥ | kāni tīrthāni puṇyāni māhātmyaṃ teṣu kīdṛśam
Quelle est sa disposition, quelle est sa forme ? Et quels sont les rois dans cette cité ? Quels tīrtha saints et méritoires s’y trouvent, et quelle grandeur leur est associée ?
Ṛṣis (sages)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā (internal tīrthas to be enumerated)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis
Scene: A conceptual ‘map’ scene: sages ask about Ayodhyā’s shape, its kings, and its holy bathing spots—like opening a sacred atlas.
Understanding a holy place includes its sacred landscape, its righteous history, and the tīrthas that embody dharma and merit.
Ayodhyā broadly; specific tīrthas are requested but not yet named in this verse.
None directly; the verse seeks details that typically guide pilgrimage practice.
