Sages/Listeners (addressing Sūta)
Tirtha: Internal tīrthas of Hāṭakeśvara-kṣetra (requested)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Sūta
Scene: Sages lean forward, palms joined or raised in inquiry, asking Sūta to describe the power and extent of the tīrthas in detail.

The verse introduces the tīrthas of the Hāṭakeśvara-related sacred region that will be described in the surrounding passage.
No specific rite is prescribed here; it is a request for detailed exposition of the tīrthas and their merits.
