काशीराजो महावीर्यो महाबलपराक्रमः । चित्रसेन इति ख्यातां धरण्यां स नराधिप
kāśīrājo mahāvīryo mahābalaparākramaḥ | citrasena iti khyātāṃ dharaṇyāṃ sa narādhipa
காசியின் அரசன் ஒருவன் இருந்தான்—மிகுந்த வீரமும், பெரும் பலமும், பராக்கிரமமும் உடையவன். பூமியில் ‘சித்ரசேனன்’ எனப் புகழ்பெற்ற மனிதரின் தலைவன் அவன்.
Narrator (Purāṇic narrator, unspecified in snippet)
Tirtha: Kāśī (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Uttānapāda
Scene: Narrator introduces Citrasena, the famed and powerful king of Kāśī, setting the stage for a dharmic royal tale.
Purāṇas frame righteous rulership as a sacred power: true fame rests on valor disciplined by dharma.
The verse introduces the king of Kāśī; the broader Revā Khaṇḍa context centers on the sanctity of the Revā (Narmadā) region.
None in this verse; it is a narrative introduction of the king.
