krīḍāsaktā tadā devī dadarśātha mahāsatī | yajñaṃ prayāṃtaṃ somaṃ ca rohiṇyā sahitaṃ prabhum
Khi đang mải mê vui chơi, nữ thần Mahāsatī bỗng thấy Soma, bậc Chúa tể, đang tiến đến lễ tế, có Rohiṇī đi cùng.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating
Scene: Devī pauses mid-play, gaze turning outward; in the sky-path below, Soma shines cool-white, moving toward a yajña, with Rohiṇī beside him—an elegant celestial procession hinting at an unseen sacrificial arena.

The Kedārakhaṇḍa sacred setting frames the story; this verse specifically points to the yajña destination rather than a named tīrtha.
None directly; it notes Soma’s movement toward the yajña.
