सूत उवाच । एवमुक्तस्ततो भूयो विश्वामित्रोऽब्रवीदिदम् । कोपेन महता युक्तो निःस्पृहस्तत्परिग्रहे
sūta uvāca | evamuktastato bhūyo viśvāmitro'bravīdidam | kopena mahatā yukto niḥspṛhastatparigrahe
สูตกล่าวว่า: ครั้นนางกล่าวดังนั้นแล้ว วิศวามิตรก็ตอบอีกครั้ง—ประกอบด้วยความโกรธอันใหญ่หลวง และไม่ยินดีจะรับนางไว้
Sūta
Type: kshetra
Listener: (Contextual) Śaunaka and the Naimiṣāraṇya sages
Scene: Sūta narrates; the scene cuts to Viśvāmitra with blazing eyes of controlled anger, yet body language of refusal—hand turned away, gaze averted from Menakā’s allure.
Purāṇic narration uses exemplars like Viśvāmitra to highlight firm detachment as support for spiritual practice.
This verse is narrative linkage within Tīrthamāhātmya; it does not itself name a tīrtha.
No explicit ritual; it signals the ascetic stance (niḥspṛhatā) that undergirds vows.
