śāṃtaṃ dāṃtaṃ samālokya viśvastena mahātmanā | tasya cāṃtaḥpure hyāsītpiṃgalānāma nāyikā

Listener: Dvijāḥ (implied continuation)
Scene: The king, seeing the attendant’s calm discipline, trusts him; within the inner palace stands Piṅgalā, the chief lady—poised, significant, and watchful.
Trust is bestowed on those known for peace and restraint; Purāṇic narratives often contrast such virtues with later temptations in palace life.
No tīrtha is named; the verse shifts into a courtly episode within the larger Tīrthamāhātmya chapter.
None.
