Narrator (Purāṇic narrator; not explicit in the snippet)
Tirtha: Brahmaśilā–Sarasvatī tīrtha (homa episode)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A homa-kunda blazing; Viśvāmitra pours oblations with a ladle, chanting severe Sāma-vidhi mantras; flames rise as if responding; the night sky and forest frame the ritual intensity.
Ritual and mantra gain their righteousness from intention; harmful intent corrupts even sacred procedure.
Not specified in this verse; the broader chapter belongs to a tīrtha-māhātmya context.
Homa/oblation into Agni (Jātavedas) with mantras is described, but in a hostile ‘vadhātmaka’ context.
