Narrator (contextual narration within Kāśīkhaṇḍa)
Divine approval may be subtle, and the devotee responds with reverence (praṇāma) before making requests.
Not stated here; the narrative is moving toward the sanctification of Pañcanada Hrada in Kāśī.
The devotional act of praṇāma (bowing) is exemplified, though no formal ritual rules are given.
