(Индра подумал:) «Да не лишусь я своего положения когда-либо из‑за демона Лохасуры». И тогда Магхаван (Индра), приняв скрытый облик, отправился в лес обители-ашрама.
Narrator (Indra’s thought is reported)
Tirtha: Āśrama-kānana (near Sarasvatī tīra, implied)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Indra, worried about losing his station, assumes a concealed form and enters the hermitage-forest where Lohāsura performs austerity.
Worldly power fears rival power; Purāṇas often show how insecurity drives interference with others’ spiritual efforts.
The verse mentions an āśrama-kānana (hermitage forest), a sanctified ascetic space, without naming a specific tīrtha.
None; it narrates Indra’s approach to disrupt austerity.
