Chapter on the Sacred Hill Episode: Satyatapā and the Marvel of Varāha
यावदास्ते शुभे देशे कृतकृत्यो महामुनिः ॥ तावत्तस्य गुरुस्तत्र त्वारुणिः समदृश्यत ॥
yāvad āste śubhe deśe kṛtakṛtyo mahāmuniḥ || tāvat tasya gurus tatra tvāruṇiḥ samadṛśyata ||
जब तक महा ऋषि उस अच्छे जगह पे थे, तब तक उनका काम हो गया। इतने में उनके गुरु त्वारुणि वहाँ आ गए।
Narrator (default Varāha framework; explicit speaker not marked in fragment)
It reflects the authority of lineage (guru-paramparā) as a narrative device for legitimizing knowledge and ethical instruction in Purāṇic literature.
Only “śubha deśa” (an auspicious place) is mentioned without a specific toponym.
It underscores completion of duty (kṛtakṛtya) and the continuing role of teachers in guiding recognized attainment.
