यंयं शृणोति शब्दं स मृगपक्षिसमुद्भवम् । रजन्यां तत्र निर्याति मत्वा फलवतीं च ताम्
yaṃyaṃ śṛṇoti śabdaṃ sa mṛgapakṣisamudbhavam | rajanyāṃ tatra niryāti matvā phalavatīṃ ca tām
Qualquer som que ouvisse—vindo de cervos ou de aves—à noite ele corria para lá, julgando ser ela, e esperando um desfecho auspicioso.

Not specified in this verse; it continues the forest-search narrative within the Tīrthamāhātmya.
None; it is descriptive narrative.
