Ṛkṣaśṛṅga (first half), Narrator (second half reporting the king’s reaction)
Tirtha: Revā-khaṇḍa forest-tīrtha environs (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A king-hunter pauses in astonishment as a human voice arises from among deer in a forest clearing; deer cluster around, the moment suspended between fear and wonder.
Non-harming presence is the mark of sanctity; recognition of holiness awakens conscience, shown by the king’s astonishment.
The verse sits within the Revā Khaṇḍa’s sacred narrative milieu; no named tīrtha appears here.
