ಆ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿ ವಿಶುದ್ಧಬುದ್ಧಿಯ ಶ್ರೀಕಂಠ (ಶಿವ) ಸಂತೋಷಗೊಂಡನು; ನಗುತ್ತಾ ಧಾತೃ (ಬ್ರಹ್ಮ)ನಿಗೆ—“ಹೇ ಬ್ರಹ್ಮನ್, ಎಲ್ಲವನ್ನೂ ನಾನು ಅರಿತೆ” ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದನು.
Narrator (introducing Śiva’s reply)
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Śrīkaṇṭha (Śiva), serene and smiling, addresses Dhātṛ (Brahmā) in a luminous assembly; the mood is conciliatory and authoritative.
The Lord’s serene smile signifies grace: sincere confession and dharmic reasoning are met with divine understanding.
The dialogue unfolds within the Kāśī-khaṇḍa narrative world, reinforcing Kāśī as the stage for profound divine-human discourse.
None; it is a transition into Śiva’s teaching/response.
