स एकदा चरंल्लोके सर्वानुग्रहतत्परः । क्रौंचारण्यं महाघोरं प्रविवेश यदृच्छया
sa ekadā caraṃlloke sarvānugrahatatparaḥ | krauṃcāraṇyaṃ mahāghoraṃ praviveśa yadṛcchayā
ម្តងមួយ គាត់ដើរចរនៅក្នុងលោក ដោយប៉ងផ្តល់អនុគ្រោះដល់សត្វទាំងអស់។ ដោយចៃដន្យ គាត់បានចូលទៅក្នុងព្រៃ ក្រៅញ្ចៈ ដែលគួរឱ្យភ័យខ្លាចយ៉ាងខ្លាំង។
Sūta (narrator)
Tirtha: Krauñcāraṇya
Type: kshetra
Scene: The ascetic enters a dark, formidable forest—twisted trees, rocky ground, ominous shadows—yet he remains fearless and compassionate, staff in hand.
A realized yogin roams for the uplift of beings; even frightening places become stages for grace and dharma.
Krauñcāraṇya (the Krauñca Forest) is named as the setting, suggesting a sacred-geographic narrative locus within the Purāṇa.
None; it is a narrative movement into a place where subsequent religious events/teachings may unfold.
