Pulastya (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Mārkaṇḍeya-āśrama
Type: kshetra
Listener: A king (nṛpa)
Scene: A serene, radiant youth in an āśrama courtyard, sunlight-like aura around him; sages and students glance with reverence; the king is addressed as the narrator foreshadows coming events.
Inner serenity and auspicious qualities are portrayed as visible signs of accumulated merit and dharmic refinement.
The verse continues the āśrama setting; the specific revered locus remains Mārkaṇḍeya’s hermitage context.
None; it is descriptive narrative.
