The Saptarishis Seek Uma for Shiva: Himavan Grants the Marriage
इहस्थां त्वां समाभाष्य गमिष्यामि पृथूदकम् पृच्छामि यदहं त्वां वै तत्र न क्रोद्धुमर्हसि
ihasthāṃ tvāṃ samābhāṣya gamiṣyāmi pṛthūdakam pṛcchāmi yadahaṃ tvāṃ vai tatra na kroddhumarhasi
Поговорив с тобой здесь, я отправлюсь в Pṛthūdaka. Там я задам тебе один вопрос; потому тебе не следует гневаться на меня из‑за этого.

The verse frames inquiry as a disciplined act: one should ask even sensitive questions without provoking anger, and the hearer should restrain krodha. This reflects Purāṇic ethics where truth-seeking is paired with śānti (forbearance).
This is best classified under ākhyāna / vaṃśānucarita-adjacent narrative material rather than cosmological sarga/pratisarga. It functions as didactic dialogue embedded in the Purāṇic narrative layer.
Going to a tīrtha (Pṛthūdaka) before posing a question suggests that sacred space and inner purity support right questioning and right hearing—knowledge is sought in an atmosphere of restraint and sanctity.
