āvāṃ kiṃ kāraṇaṃ rājā nekṣate vaśavartinau | provāca praṇato rājā tato dvāḥsthaṃ puraḥsthitam

Śiva (Īśvara) (narrating)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Listener: Māhātmya audience
Scene: Nara questions why the king refuses to see them; inside, Yudhiṣṭhira—now bowed—speaks to the doorkeeper, signaling a shift from command to reverent reconsideration.

Prabhāsa-kṣetra is the contextual tīrtha where this dharmic lesson is narrated.
None; it centers on ethical conduct and respectful speech.
