असृग्वर्षति देवश्च तिमिरेणाऽवृता दिवशः । उल्कापाताश्च बहवः पेतुरुर्व्यां सहस्रशः
asṛgvarṣati devaśca timireṇā'vṛtā divaśaḥ | ulkāpātāśca bahavaḥ petururvyāṃ sahasraśaḥ
Llovió sangre desde el cielo, el día quedó velado por la oscuridad, y numerosos meteoros cayeron sobre la tierra por millares.
Sūta (Lomaharṣaṇa) narrating to the sages (contextual attribution within Māheśvarakhaṇḍa)
Tirtha: Kedāra/Kedārakṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: The sky turns unnaturally dark at midday; red droplets fall like rain; countless meteors streak and crash, lighting the gloom with fiery trails as devas recoil.

None directly; it is an omen sequence within the Kedārakhaṇḍa narrative.
None.
