निर्जीवमिति तं दृष्ट्वा ततः संत्यज्य दानवः । जयं प्राप्योद्धतं नादं मुक्त्वा संत्रास्य देवताः
nirjīvamiti taṃ dṛṣṭvā tataḥ saṃtyajya dānavaḥ | jayaṃ prāpyoddhataṃ nādaṃ muktvā saṃtrāsya devatāḥ
Le voyant comme sans vie, le Dānava le laissa. Pensant la victoire acquise, il poussa un rugissement féroce, terrifiant les dieux.
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta), narrating to the sages (deduced)
Scene: The dānava steps back from Yama’s motionless body, then throws his head back and roars in triumph; devas flinch and scatter, their faces showing terror.
Pride after apparent success is a classic mark of asuric nature; victory claimed too soon invites reversal.
