Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced)
Tirtha: Gaṇḍagirī–Kuṃkumā (name-series)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A pilgrim-scribe or sage points to a stylized map of hills (girī), a river-course (Vasantagā), and a pillar-like shrine (Stambhatīrtha), while attendants chant the names as a litany.
Remembering and reciting tīrtha and sacred-place names is treated as a dhārmic act, linking the devotee to sanctified geography and merit (puṇya).
Stambhatīrthā is explicitly named, alongside several giris (sacred hills) and place-names listed as part of the chapter’s sacred geography.
No explicit rite is described in this verse; it functions as a sacred catalogue of places/tīrthas.
