राजन्पृच्छामहे सर्वे त्वां वयं कौतुकान्विताः । तस्मात्कीर्तय चेद्गुह्यं न तत्तव व्यवस्थितम्
rājanpṛcchāmahe sarve tvāṃ vayaṃ kautukānvitāḥ | tasmātkīrtaya cedguhyaṃ na tattava vyavasthitam
राजन् पृच्छामहे सर्वे त्वां वयं कौतुकान्विताः। तस्मात् कीर्तय यद्येतद् गुह्यं न तव व्यवस्थितम्॥
Brāhmaṇa sages (dvija-sattamas) addressing the king
Type: kshetra
Scene: A senior brāhmaṇa addresses the king with a gentle but earnest gesture, asking him to narrate something—provided it is not a guarded secret; the king listens attentively.
Sacred knowledge is shared through proper channels—respectful inquiry and responsible disclosure.
Indirectly, the Devī’s tīrtha: the conversation arises within the temple milieu that motivates the king’s repeated visits.
None in this verse; it requests explanation of the king’s devotional practice.
