krīḍāsaktā tadā devī dadarśātha mahāsatī | yajñaṃ prayāṃtaṃ somaṃ ca rohiṇyā sahitaṃ prabhum
ക്രീഡയിൽ ലീനയായ മഹാസതീ ദേവി അപ്പോൾ രോഹിണിയോടുകൂടെ യജ്ഞത്തിലേക്ക് പോകുന്ന പ്രഭു സോമനെ (ചന്ദ്രനെ) കണ്ടു।
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating
Scene: Devī pauses mid-play, gaze turning outward; in the sky-path below, Soma shines cool-white, moving toward a yajña, with Rohiṇī beside him—an elegant celestial procession hinting at an unseen sacrificial arena.

The Kedārakhaṇḍa sacred setting frames the story; this verse specifically points to the yajña destination rather than a named tīrtha.
