Scene: Ninth-day morning at the tīrtha: Bhīṣma and Kuru–Pāṇḍava leaders stand with folded hands before Puṇḍarīkākṣa; the mood is affectionate and solemn after days of celebration.
In a tīrtha setting, devotion expresses itself as respectful, affectionate dialogue with the Lord, guided by elders like Bhīṣma.
The ongoing tīrtha of Adhyāya 73 (Nāgarakhaṇḍa, Tīrthamāhātmya); the precise site-name is clarified in adjacent verses.
None in this verse; it sets the narrative scene for the request made to the Lord.
