चंडो भृंगिरिटिस्तुंडी प्रचंडस्तांडवप्रियः । पिचिंडिलः स्थूलशिराः स्थूलकेशो गभस्तिमान्
caṃḍo bhṛṃgiriṭistuṃḍī pracaṃḍastāṃḍavapriyaḥ | piciṃḍilaḥ sthūlaśirāḥ sthūlakeśo gabhastimān
Da waren Caṇḍa, Bhṛṅgiriṭi, Tuṇḍī und Pracaṇḍa, die den Tāṇḍava lieben; ebenso Piciṃḍila, Sthūlaśiras, Sthūlakeśa und Gabhastimān — Gaṇas, die in wilder Energie loderten.
Skanda (deduced for Kāśīkhaṇḍa narrative style)
Tirtha: Kāśī
Type: kshetra
Scene: Gaṇas whirl in a protective tāṇḍava around a blazing center; Caṇḍa and Pracaṇḍa leap with raised arms; Bhṛṅgiriṭi stands ascetic yet fierce; hair and ornaments flare like sparks; Kāśī’s lamps and bells echo the dance.
Śiva’s cosmic rhythm (Tāṇḍava) and his fierce attendants symbolize the removal of obstacles to Dharma and the safeguarding of sacred space.
Kāśī, implicitly, within the Kāśīkhaṇḍa’s account of divine guardians.
None; the verse is descriptive rather than prescriptive.
