एतत्सर्वं समासेन आदौ कथय मे प्रभो । ज्ञात्वा सर्वे वयं सूत पश्चादावर्णयामहे
etatsarvaṃ samāsena ādau kathaya me prabho | jñātvā sarve vayaṃ sūta paścādāvarṇayāmahe
हे प्रभो! आरंभापासून हे सर्व मला संक्षेपाने सांगा. हे सूत! ते जाणून आम्ही पुढे सविस्तर वर्णन करू.
Śaunaka (continuing address to Sūta)
Listener: Sūta
Scene: The sages collectively request a concise beginning-to-end account; Sūta sits poised, indicating he will narrate systematically.
Purāṇic wisdom is preserved by disciplined listening, clear summaries, and faithful retelling—knowledge becomes service.
No specific tirtha is mentioned in this verse; it frames the pedagogical method within the Kedārakhaṇḍa discourse.
None explicitly; it implies śravaṇa (listening) and kīrtana/pravacana (recounting) as dharmic practices.
