Narrator (within Setukhaṇḍa narrative flow; likely Sūta reporting the episode, while ‘Rāmanātha’ is the acting deity)
Tirtha: Rāmanātha (Setu-kṣetra)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya sages (standard Sūta audience)
Scene: Rāmanātha, having spoken, becomes subtle and disappears into the selfsame liṅga; devotees stand with folded hands as the stotra-chapter is held like a sacred manuscript, suggesting the power of daily recitation.
