युधिष्ठिर उवाच । गणेशः स्थापितः केन कस्मात्स्थापितवानसौ । किं नामासौ महाभाग तन्मे कथय मा चिरम्
yudhiṣṭhira uvāca | gaṇeśaḥ sthāpitaḥ kena kasmātsthāpitavānasau | kiṃ nāmāsau mahābhāga tanme kathaya mā ciram
Yudhiṣṭhira thưa: Ai đã an vị Gaṇeśa, và vì duyên cớ gì người ấy an vị Ngài? Bậc đại phúc ấy tên là gì? Xin nói cho tôi biết, chớ chậm trễ.
Yudhiṣṭhira
Tirtha: Gaṇādhipa shrine (southern guardian) at Satyamaṃdira
Type: temple
Listener: Vyāsa
Scene: Yudhiṣṭhira, attentive and earnest, questions Vyāsa about Gaṇeśa’s installation—who installed him, why, and what name he bears in this kṣetra.
Sacred geography is transmitted through disciplined inquiry—asking about cause, agent, and name to understand a tīrtha’s deeper dharma.
Satyamaṃdira (implied), specifically the placement of Gaṇeśa within its protective scheme.
None; it is a question prompting the forthcoming origin account (utpatti-kāraṇa).
