ब्रह्मणेशः कथं दृष्टस्त्रपाकुलित चक्षुषा । किमाह देव ब्रह्माणं किमुक्तं भास्वतापि च
brahmaṇeśaḥ kathaṃ dṛṣṭastrapākulita cakṣuṣā | kimāha deva brahmāṇaṃ kimuktaṃ bhāsvatāpi ca
లజ్జా-విస్మయాలతో కలవరపడిన నేత్రాలతో బ్రహ్మణేశుడు ఎలా దర్శనమయ్యెను? దేవుడు బ్రహ్మతో ఏమని పలికెను, భాస్వతుడు (సూర్యుడు) పట్ల ఏమని చెప్పబడెను?
Agastya
Tirtha: Kāśī (Avimukta)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Skanda
Scene: A charged moment of darśana: Brahmāṇeśa is seen with eyes lowered and trembling, overwhelmed by awe and shame; the Lord addresses Brahmā, and also speaks to the radiant Sun-god.
Reverent awe before divine manifestation is portrayed as natural; the verse prompts hearing the authoritative teaching delivered to cosmic rulers like Brahmā and Sūrya.
No single tīrtha is named in this verse; it functions as a narrative lead-in within the Kāśī-centered māhātmya.
None; it is a set of questions requesting the next portion of the story.
