व्यास उवाच । हिमवद्वासिनः सर्वे मुनयो वेदपारगाः । त्रिकालज्ञा महात्मानो नैमिषारण्यवासिनः
vyāsa uvāca | himavadvāsinaḥ sarve munayo vedapāragāḥ | trikālajñā mahātmāno naimiṣāraṇyavāsinaḥ
Vyāsa berkata: Semua resi yang tinggal di Himavat—mahir dalam Veda, mengetahui tiga kala, berjiwa agung—adalah para penghuni Naimiṣāraṇya.
Vyāsa
Purāṇic teaching is anchored in holy assemblies of realized sages; true authority rests on Vedic mastery and spiritual insight.
Naimiṣāraṇya is named as the gathering-place; Ayodhyā remains the upcoming focus of the māhātmya.
None explicitly; it establishes the narrative setting for the discourse.
