ततस्ते मुनयः सर्वे कुतूहलसमन्विताः । च्यवनो याज्ञवल्क्यश्च शांडिल्यः शाकटायनः
tataste munayaḥ sarve kutūhalasamanvitāḥ | cyavano yājñavalkyaśca śāṃḍilyaḥ śākaṭāyanaḥ
Kemudian semua para muni itu, dipenuhi rasa ingin tahu—Cyavana, Yājñavalkya, Śāṇḍilya dan Śākaṭāyana—pun berhimpun di sana.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A gathering of eminent ṛṣis at Prabhāsa, faces bright with curiosity, approaching a sacred narrative moment near the Somnātha sphere.
Holy places draw realized sages; their gathering signals the unfolding of sacred instruction and merit.
The sages are associated with the Prabhāsa-kṣetra/Someśvara-Somanātha setting of the chapter.
None directly; this verse lists the sages who assemble, preparing for further events/discourse.
