नीलांबरधरः कृष्णः पुरुषो वक्रनासिकः । कृष्णदन्तः स्थूलशिरा दीर्घग्रीवो महोदरः । शूर्पाकारांघ्रिरेवाऽसौ चिपिटाक्षो भयावहः
nīlāṃbaradharaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ puruṣo vakranāsikaḥ | kṛṣṇadantaḥ sthūlaśirā dīrghagrīvo mahodaraḥ | śūrpākārāṃghrirevā'sau cipiṭākṣo bhayāvahaḥ
নীল বস্ত্ৰধাৰী এক কৃষ্ণ পুৰুষ প্ৰকাশ পালে—বেঁকা নাক, ক’লা দাঁত, ডাঙৰ মূৰ, দীঘল ডিঙি আৰু বৃহৎ উদৰ; কোৰৰ দৰে ভৰি, চেপেটা-বিকৃত চকু—ভয়ংকৰ দৰ্শন।
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narrator within Tīrthamāhātmya; exact speaker not explicit in the snippet)
Scene: A terrifying dark male figure appears from the churned ocean: blue garments, crooked nose, black teeth, heavy head, long neck, huge belly, shovel-like feet, distorted flat eyes—an omen-like emergence amid cosmic turbulence.
The Purāṇas warn that not all that emerges from intense striving is auspicious; discernment and adherence to dharma are necessary.
