Narrator (Purāṇic narrator, contextually within Setukhaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Dharmapuṣkariṇī
Type: kund
Scene: Morning after snāna: devotee on the bank performing sandhyā—arghya to the sun, yajñopavīta visible, water-pot beside; then turning toward a Viṣṇu altar to begin pūjā preparations.
Purāṇic devotion is grounded in dharma: daily obligatory rites support and sanctify personal deity-worship.
Implicitly Dharmapuṣkariṇī (the continuing narrative locus), where the worship is undertaken.
Perform Sandhyā-vandana and other nitya-karmas first, then commence Hari’s pūjā.
