ऋषयो विविधास्तत्र वशिष्ठाद्याः समागताः । अगस्त्यः कश्यपोऽत्रिश्च वामदेवस्तथा भृगुः
ṛṣayo vividhāstatra vaśiṣṭhādyāḥ samāgatāḥ | agastyaḥ kaśyapo'triśca vāmadevastathā bhṛguḥ
అక్కడ వశిష్ఠాది అనేక విధాల ఋషులు సమాగమించారు—అగస్త్యుడు, కశ్యపుడు, అత్రి, వామదేవుడు మరియు భృగువూ।
Lomaśa (continuing narration)
Tirtha: Kedāra (Kedārakṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣis/śaunaka-led assembly (typical purāṇic setting)
Scene: A Himalayan sacred clearing near Kedāra where venerable sages—Vasiṣṭha, Agastya, Kaśyapa, Atri, Vāmadeva, Bhṛgu—arrive in orderly reverence, carrying kamaṇḍalus and matted locks, with snowy peaks and cedar forests behind.
A righteous rite is validated by the presence and blessings of realized sages, highlighting the Purāṇic ideal of saintly community (satsaṅga).
The assembly occurs within the Kedārakhaṇḍa’s sacred setting associated with Kedāra; the verse itself focuses on the attending ṛṣis.
No new prescription—this verse enumerates the ṛṣis invited to the sacrificial venue.
