ततस्ते राजवचनात्कालनेमि मुखागताः । प्राह तांस्तारको दैत्यः किमिदं वो विचेष्टितम्
tataste rājavacanātkālanemi mukhāgatāḥ | prāha tāṃstārako daityaḥ kimidaṃ vo viceṣṭitam
Daraufhin traten sie auf des Königs Befehl vor Kālanemi. Daitya Tāraka sprach zu ihnen: „Was soll dieses Verhalten von euch bedeuten?“
Tāraka
Listener: Purāṇic audience
Scene: Ministers arrive before Kālanemi; Tāraka, tense and suspicious, questions their behavior; a charged atmosphere of blame and urgency fills the hall.
Leadership demands accountability; those entrusted with counsel must act with clarity and integrity.
No sacred site is referenced in this verse; it continues the daitya court narrative.
