Narrator (Sūta/Lomaharṣaṇa tradition)
Tirtha: Kedāra (sectional frame) / Dakṣa-yajña (narrative locus)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The Devī mounts Nandin; around her surge countless gaṇas of varied forms—fierce, Rudra-like, armed and exuberant—departing in a thunderous divine procession by Śiva’s command.
The divine is never truly alone; spiritual authority is accompanied by protective cosmic forces aligned with dharma.
No tīrtha is named; the verse narrates the journey toward Dakṣa’s sacrificial venue.
None.
