तत क्ुद्धो5ब्रवीद् भूमिमुतथ्यो ब्राह्मणोत्तम: । दर्शयस्व स्थलं भद्गरे घट्सहस्रशतह्दम्
tataḥ kruddho 'bravīd bhūmim utathyo brāhmaṇottamaḥ | darśayasva sthalaṃ bhadre yatra ṣaṭsahasraśatahradām ||
Da sprach Utathya, der Vortrefflichste unter den Brahmanen, erzürnt zur Erde: „O Glückverheißende, zeige mir den Ort, wo der Glanz von sechstausend Blitzen sich ausbreitet.“

The verse highlights that moral-spiritual authority (especially of a rishi/brāhmaṇa) is portrayed as capable of commanding even cosmic elements, and that anger, when rooted in a demand for truth or justice, is treated as a potent force—yet implicitly one that should serve dharma rather than ego.
Utathya becomes angry and directly addresses the Earth as a living power, ordering her to reveal a specific location distinguished by an extraordinary, lightning-like radiance described as ‘six thousand’ flashes.
