Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Stambhatīrtha (contextual)
Type: ghat
Listener: Pāṇḍava (likely Yudhiṣṭhira as archetypal listener in dharma discourse)
Scene: Crowd at a tīrtha erupts in ‘hā hā’; ripples in the water; then Yogīśa appears—ascetic majesty, matted locks, serene power—while Skanda/Guha also arrives, addressing a Pāṇḍava in the narrative frame.
