vadhārthaṃ mṛgayūthānāmāgato vindhyaparvatam | tarujātisamākīrṇe hastiyūthasamācite
ہرنوں کے ریوڑوں کا شکار کرنے کی نیت سے وہ وِندھیا پہاڑ پر آیا—جہاں طرح طرح کے درخت گھنے تھے اور ہاتھیوں کے جھنڈوں سے بھرا ہوا تھا۔
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) (deduced for Skanda Purāṇa narrative frame)
Scene: A king with retinue enters the Vindhya slopes: layered forest canopy, deer herds scattering, a visible line of elephants moving through sal trees; the mountain rises dark-green behind.
The pursuit of violence and sport-hunting becomes the narrative cause that drives the king into powerful sacred landscapes where dharma will be re-taught.
Vindhya mountain is named as the setting; in the Revā Khaṇḍa this geography functions as the threshold to Narmadā-associated sanctity.
None; it describes the king’s motive and the forested Vindhya setting.
