Sūta
Tirtha: Kāntī (city of Rudrasena)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis
Scene: Panoramic view of Kāntī: high ramparts, grand gateways (toraṇas), bustling yet orderly streets, palace rising at center; banners flutter; the city radiates ‘kānti’ (splendor).
Purāṇas frame sacred history within ordered, dharmic kingdoms—outer prosperity reflecting inner righteousness.
The immediate verse describes Kāntī, the king’s capital; the broader chapter glorifies Mahākāla’s sacred sphere where the king worships.
None; it provides geographical and royal setting.
