रौरवश्चापि लंबोष्ठो वणिजः सुजटालिकः । सुगंधो हुहुकश्चैव नौमि पातालरक्षकान्
rauravaścāpi laṃboṣṭho vaṇijaḥ sujaṭālikaḥ | sugaṃdho huhukaścaiva naumi pātālarakṣakān
I also bow to Raurava, to Laṃboṣṭha the thick-lipped, to Vaṇija, to Sujaṭālika of well-matted hair, to Sugandha the fragrant, and to Huhuka—these guardians of Pātāla, the nether realms.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced from Māheśvarakhaṇḍa context)
Tirtha: Pātāla (cosmic region)
Type: kshetra
Scene: A devotee offers namaskāra to a row of formidable underworld guardians—each with distinct physiognomy (thick lips, matted hair, fragrant aura, roaring presence)—standing at jeweled gates of Pātāla with nāga motifs and subterranean glow.
Protection of dharma extends through all realms; invoking guardians affirms the sanctity and order of the kṣetra.
The verse praises guardian beings rather than naming a particular tirtha.
Namaskāra to the pātāla-rakṣakas as part of a wider guardian-worship procedure.
