Who is speaking and story frame
सक्ष्मान्तरिक्षं सदिवं सभागणं
त्रैलोक्यमासीत् सह दिग्भिराप्लुतम् ।
स एक एवोर्वरितो महामुनि-
र्बभ्राम विक्षिप्य जटा जडान्धवत् ॥ १५ ॥
sa-kṣmāntarikṣaṁ sa-divaṁ sa-bhā-gaṇaṁ
trai-lokyam āsīt saha digbhir āplutam
sa eka evorvarito mahā-munir
babhrāma vikṣipya jaṭā jaḍāndha-vat
