Brahmā’s Puṣkara Sacrifice: Kokāmukha Tīrtha, Varāha’s Aid, and the Arrival of Gāyatrī
तत्रस्थेन भगवता विष्णुना शंकरेण च । यत्कृतं मुनिशार्दूल तत्सर्वं परिकीर्त्तय
tatrasthena bhagavatā viṣṇunā śaṃkareṇa ca | yatkṛtaṃ muniśārdūla tatsarvaṃ parikīrttaya
Wahai harimau di antara para resi, ceritakanlah dengan lengkap segala sesuatu yang dilakukan di sana oleh Bhagavān Viṣṇu dan oleh Śaṅkara (Śiva) yang hadir di tempat itu.
Unspecified (a narrator/interlocutor addressing a sage as 'muniśārdūla')
Concept: Divine līlā at a specific locus becomes a scriptural memory; hearing (śravaṇa) of what Viṣṇu and Śiva did is itself a purifying act.
Application: Cultivate śravaṇa-kīrtana: regularly hear and recount sacred histories; when studying, ask precise questions that invite complete narration rather than fragments.

FAQs
The speaker asks an eminent sage to narrate all events/actions carried out at that place by Viṣṇu and Śaṅkara.
It presents both deities as active, present participants in the same sacred narrative context, inviting a complete account of their deeds.
It models śravaṇa (reverent listening) and itihāsa-purāṇa narration as a means of transmitting sacred memory—requesting a faithful, complete recounting rather than a partial one.
