सा गता भ्रममाणाथ काम्यकंनाम तद्वनम् । मत्तकोकिलनादाढ्यं मनोज्ञद्रुमसं कुलम्
sā gatā bhramamāṇātha kāmyakaṃnāma tadvanam | mattakokilanādāḍhyaṃ manojñadrumasaṃ kulam
Lang thang, nàng đến khu rừng mang tên Kāmyaka, tràn đầy tiếng chim cu gáy như say và rậm rạp những hàng cây mỹ lệ, êm đềm đáng mến.
Narrator (Brāhmaṇa Vatsa)
Tirtha: Kāmyaka-vana (as narrative locale)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Unnamed interlocutor
Scene: Menakā wanders into Kāmyaka forest: dense, delightful trees, spring bloom, and resonant cuckoo calls; the forest itself feels intoxicating.
The Purāṇa frames sacred geography as spiritually charged—nature becomes the stage where dharma and desire are tested.
Kāmyaka-vana is named as the locale; the associated tīrtha significance is established in the continuing narration.
None in this verse; it is a descriptive setting.
