Himālaya (Himavān)
Tirtha: Kedāra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Implied sages/devotees
Scene: Himālaya, personified as a dignified mountain-king, begins to speak—hands poised, face luminous—before Śiva’s tranquil presence; attendants (ṛṣis/devas) listen in hushed awe amid snowy grandeur.
Sacred speech (stuti) offered to the Lord becomes a vehicle of universal auspiciousness.
Kedārakhaṇḍa’s Himalayan sanctum where Himavān offers praise in Śiva’s presence.
No explicit prescription; it models stotra-like praise as a devotional act.
