pātālānnirgatā daityā ye purā'mṛtamaṃthane | ghātitāḥ surasaṃghaiśca bhṛguṇā jīvitāstvarāt
Jene Daityas, die einst aus Pātāla hervorkamen, als man nach Amṛta rührte—obgleich sie von den Scharen der Götter erschlagen wurden—wurden von Bhṛgu rasch wieder zum Leben erweckt.
Lomaharṣaṇa/Sūta (deduced for Māheśvarakhaṇḍa narrative frame)
Tirtha: Kedāra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Daityas rising from Pātāla like a dark tide; fallen bodies reanimating as Bhṛgu’s ascetic power flashes; devas in battle formation recoiling as the slain return.
