दानवेन्द्रं तदा चक्रे गंधर्वास्त्रं महाद्भुतम् । ततोऽस्य तेजसा व्याप्तमभूद्गनगोचरम्
dānavendraṃ tadā cakre gaṃdharvāstraṃ mahādbhutam | tato'sya tejasā vyāptamabhūdganagocaram
عندئذٍ استعمل إندرا على سيدِ الدانافا سلاحَ الغندرفا العجيب. فبوهجِ قوّته عمَّ الفضاءُ وميدانُ القتال، كأنه يتحرّك ضمن نطاق جموعِ الغَنا.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (Mahēśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Scene: A radiant weapon-release: the Gandharva-astra manifests as shimmering celestial formations; the air glows, and the sky seems populated by gaṇas/hosts moving through the light.
Divine power (tejas) is portrayed as overwhelming and world-filling; righteous authority is shown as possessing higher means when ordinary force fails.
No tīrtha is directly glorified in this verse.
None.
