maulijairabhrasaṃgharṣaṃ kurvandīrghakṛśodaraḥ | nimagnapiṃganayanaḥ kaścidbhīṣayati sma tam

Skanda (deduced: Kāśīkhaṇḍa commonly Skanda → Agastya)
Tirtha: Avimukta-Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Listener: Ṛṣi-assembly
Scene: A towering, gaunt-bellied figure whose crown-ornaments scrape the clouds; sunken tawny eyes glare downward as he repeatedly tries to frighten the child/hero below.

Kāśī is the overarching sacred setting in the Kāśīkhaṇḍa; this verse does not name a particular tīrtha.
None.
