अगस्त्य उवाच । शिवलोकं समासाद्य मुनिना ब्रह्मसूनुना । किं चक्रे ब्रूहि षड्वक्त्र कथां कौतुकशालिनीम्
agastya uvāca | śivalokaṃ samāsādya muninā brahmasūnunā | kiṃ cakre brūhi ṣaḍvaktra kathāṃ kautukaśālinīm
Wika ni Agastya: O Panginoong may Anim na Mukha, sabihin mo sa akin—nang dumating ang pantas na si Nārada, anak ni Brahmā, sa daigdig ni Śiva, ano ang ginawa niya roon? Isalaysay ang masayang salaysay na hitik sa kababalaghan.
Agastya
Tirtha: Kailāsa/Śivaloka (contextual)
Type: peak
Listener: Skanda (Ṣaḍvaktra)
Scene: Agastya, the pot-born sage, respectfully questions the six-faced Skanda, requesting a wonder-filled account of Nārada’s actions in Śiva’s world.
Reverent inquiry into divine matters is itself a dharmic act; sacred narratives awaken devotion and right understanding.
The verse points toward Śiva’s realm and Kailāsa context; within Kāśīkhaṇḍa, the broader frame remains the greatness of Kāśī while narrating a Kailāsa episode.
None directly; it introduces a question that leads into a sacred account.
