Sūta
Listener: Dwijas/Munīśvaras
Scene: Śiva and Pārvatī on Kailāsa in a gentle līlā moment—Śiva teaching, Pārvatī listening—while the narrator promises to retell that very wondrous account to the sages.
Tīrtha-glories are not mere folklore; they are rooted in Śiva’s own teaching tradition.
The forthcoming glorification pertains to the Setu region’s tīrthas, especially Vētālavarada Tīrtha.
No explicit ritual is stated; the authority (prāmāṇya) of the kathā is emphasized through its divine source.
