Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Siddheśvara (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: A king (mahārāja)
Scene: The sage completes the list of Ādityas and reveals their collective desire: to attain Bhāskara’s supreme station, evoking solar brilliance and cosmic hierarchy.
Even exalted beings pursue higher spiritual stations; aspiration becomes meaningful when directed through dharmic striving.
The narrative continues toward Siddheśvara Tīrtha, where the Ādityas’ desire and tapas culminate.
No explicit ritual here; it states the Ādityas’ intention (bhāskara-pada) that motivates their austerity.
