Bṛhaspati
Tirtha: Kedāra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Assembly within the story (devas/Indra) and the text’s audience
Scene: A host of Rudra’s gaṇas—radiant, formidable—surrounding the scene near Kedāra; their ornaments and weapons gleam; faces show controlled rage; Indra’s party appears dwarfed; the atmosphere is charged, as if nothing would survive their onslaught.
