Os sábios disseram: “Este pīṭha chamado Citreśvara foi estabelecido pelo sábio Agastya. Declara-nos sua medida (forma/extensão) e seu poder espiritual—descreve-o para nós.”
Ṛṣayaḥ (Sages)
Tirtha: Citreśvara-pīṭha
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sūta (as respondent)
Scene: Forest-āśrama setting: a circle of sages respectfully questioning Sūta about Citreśvara, with a distant suggestion of a Śiva-pīṭha/linga established by Agastya.
Sacred geography is to be learned through inquiry and listening—knowing a tīrtha’s form and power guides proper devotion.
Citreśvara-pīṭha, attributed to Agastya’s establishment.
None directly; the sages request details of the site’s pramāṇa (extent/description) and prabhāva (spiritual efficacy).
