Matsya Purana — War of Devas and Dānavas: Yama and Kubera Defeated; Kālanemi’s Māyā and the A..., Shloka 44
ग्रसनः कटिवस्त्रैस्तु यमं गुह्य बलोद्धतः भ्रामयामास वेगेन प्रचित्तमिव सम्भ्रमः //
grasanaḥ kaṭivastraistu yamaṃ guhya baloddhataḥ bhrāmayāmāsa vegena pracittamiva sambhramaḥ //
তেতিয়া ক্ৰোধে বলোদ্ধত গ্ৰাসনে যমক কটিবস্ত্ৰ ধৰি গুহ্যদেশৰ ওচৰত আঁকোৱালি, প্ৰবল বেগে ঘূৰাই দিলে—যেন স্থিৰতা হেৰোৱা চিত্তক সম্ভ্ৰমে ঘূৰায়।
FAQs
This verse does not discuss Pralaya; it is a battlefield image emphasizing overpowering force and disorientation rather than cosmic dissolution.
Indirectly, it warns about baloddhata—being intoxicated by strength—suggesting that rulers and householders should restrain arrogance and govern the senses, since uncontrolled power leads to chaos and humiliation.
No Vastu Shastra or ritual procedure is stated here; the verse is purely narrative, using a psychological simile (confusion spinning the mind) to dramatize combat.
