Sūta (narrative continuation)
Tirtha: Mahākāla-sthāna
Type: kshetra
Scene: A vibrant all-night festival: singers with cymbals, drummers, vīṇā players; dancers in devotional poses; learned reciters chanting Veda; storytellers narrating dharma; kings and nobles watching in wonder before Mahākāla’s shrine.
Devotional celebration—music, dharma-kathā, dance, and Vedic recitation—becomes a collective offering that sustains sacred tradition.
Mahākāla’s kṣetra is implied as the setting for the vigil and its celebratory worship (traditionally Ujjain).
Jāgaraṇa supported by gīta-vādya (devotional music), dharmākhyāna (religious narration), nṛtya (dance), and vedoccāra (Vedic chanting).
