भूतावली तमालोक्य स्फुरच्चक्रसुदर्शनम् । ज्वालामालाकुलं तीव्रं रक्षंतं परितो ध्रुवम्
bhūtāvalī tamālokya sphuraccakrasudarśanam | jvālāmālākulaṃ tīvraṃ rakṣaṃtaṃ parito dhruvam
Als die Geisterschar das aufblitzende Sudarśana‑Rad sah — wild, von Flammengirlanden umwunden — das Dhruva ringsum schützte, wurde sie von Schrecken ergriffen.
Skanda (deduced; Kāśīkhaṇḍa narration, commonly Skanda to Agastya)
Tirtha: Kāśī-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: The bhūta-host beholds Sudarśana flashing with intense flames, forming a constant guard around Dhruva; their faces show alarm and hesitation at the fiery boundary.
Steadfastness in dharma draws a protective spiritual perimeter; negativity cannot breach the fire of divine guardianship.
The Kāśīkhaṇḍa context celebrates Kāśī; this specific verse is narrative and does not name a distinct tirtha.
None stated; the focus is on the protective fruit of tapas and devotion.
