विरुद्धवादिनं चैवं ब्रह्मचारिणमीश्वरम् । निशम्य कुपिता देवी प्राह वाचा सगद्गदम्
viruddhavādinaṃ caivaṃ brahmacāriṇamīśvaram | niśamya kupitā devī prāha vācā sagadgadam

When devotion is challenged, righteous indignation may arise to defend the Divine from slander.
No tīrtha is mentioned; it is a narrative transition.
None.
